1.15.26- In my opinion regarding LOT 1397: As is noted in the description of the listing, the lamp was observed operating; I note that the cover and base remain securely mounted to the vase, the applied earthenware foo lion handles also remain secure, with some typical minor dirt and grime residue that would benefit from a gentle cleaning, close visual examination reveals some typical minor iron pitting and crazing, as well as a few areas of light glaze discoloration, and a minute glaze skip at the wing of the bird motif, I do not observe hairlines/ fractures or visible chipping, and UV light examination does not reveal evidence of restoration
