Hi Jonathan,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
An Asian export style blue and white gourd-form vase
early 20th Century
With all-over white glaze, the tall undecorated cylindrical neck over globular body decorated with blue flowers and birds, unmarked. Drilled to be a lamp
19 inches high, 10 inches diameter
CONDITION: break to neck; drilled at the bottom to be a lamp
PROVENANCE: inherited
$40-60*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
These things happen! It would make a lovely lamp, particularly if it was fitted with a cuff around the neck that would hide that repair...
I've updated the appraisal and had to lower the value to reflect the damage
The top broke off :-(
