Chinese iron-red and green-enameled porcelain temple jar, now fashioned as a two-light table lamp, having gilt-metal standard with two downturned light sockets, above vase with floral reserves on white ground, among repeating geometric designs, rising on scrolled base, observed operating for five minutes, vase: approx 12.25"h, 9"diam, overall: approx 27.5"h, 9"diam, 11.25lbs **Provenance: The estate and interior design collection of Gay Ratliff (Martha Gay Kokernot Ratliff, Austin, Texas, 1942-2023)**

06.19.25: In my opinion regarding LOT 2372: As described the lamp was observed operating, I note that the vase is intact and securely joined with metal fixtures, the enameled decoration is overall well-retained with some typical light rubs, which are sparse and minor, also having some minor iron pitting and glaze pops, close visual and UV light examinations reveal a small star fracture at the shoulder of the vase which appears fully stable
