The piece is finished in a pale celadon-green monochrome glaze that mimics the 'Longquan' style, but the visible unglazed interior reveals a coarse, tan earthenware or stoneware body consistent with mid-20th-century commercial production. The flat top contains a circular aperture approximately 1 cm in diameter, intended to accommodate a threaded metal rod or pipe familiar in lighting hardware of the 1940–1960 era. Compare with other ceramic pieces in the archive: [Alabaster Urn-Shaped Vase](https://curiosa.com/archive/ceramics/alabaster-urn-shaped-vase), [Han Dynasty Style Glazed Ceramic Boar Figurine](https://curiosa.com/archive/ceramics/american-folk-art-carved-wooden-wild-boar-figure), [Chinese Blue and White 'Three Friends of Winter' Stem Cup, Ming Style](https://curiosa.com/archive/ceramics/apocryphal-xuande-blue-and-white-stem-bowl). ## COLLECTOR NOTES 1 Green celadon glazes get their color from iron oxide firing in a reducing kiln atmosphere, a technique perfected in China over 1,500 years ago. ## SCARCITY Ordinary 40-55% Common Legendary Standard antiques commonly found at estate sales and flea markets. Plentiful supply meets modest demand. Rarity 3/10. Curiosa currently catalogues 175 ceramics items at rarity 3 or higher. ### Typical Characteristics - Moderate production runs - Common at estate sales - Entry-level collectibles ### AUTHENTICITY CONFIDENCE Very High (85% confidence) #### Confidence Factors - Construction and glaze are typical for mid-century mass-produced decorative wares. - The internal aperture and unglazed interior are standard for commercial lamp components. [How does authenticity detection work?](/fake-art-detection) ## CERAMICIST'S ASSESSMENT Ceramics Historian & Kiln Specialist Ceramics Expert Identification is high regarding the object's function and era based on hardware compatibility and material signs, though the exact manufacturer remains unverified without a mark. ### KEY EVIDENCE - 1 Top aperture specifically designed for 1/8 IP lamp hardware. - 2 Tan earthenware body visible in the interior cross-section. - 3 Profile consistent with mid-20th-century 'Neo-Classical' or Asian-inspired lamp designs. - 4 Monochrome glaze application without traditional kiln-furniture scars on visible surfaces. ### UNCERTAINTIES - • Missing base and electrical components significantly reduce value to that of a replacement part. ### WHAT WOULD IMPROVE CERTAINTY - → Check the underside/foot for maker's marks or incised numbers. - → Examine the piece under UV light to ensure no hidden hairline cracks have been filled. - → Attempt a tap test; a clear ring indicates sound structure, while a thud suggests a hidden crack. COLLECTOR GLOSSARY (2 terms) ## CONDITION & GRADE Good ### Grading breakdown The ceramic remains structurally intact without visible crazing or chips, though it is currently an incomplete component missing its electrical hardware and base. ### Condition Significant accumulation of dust and structural residue is visible in the interior cavity. Minor surface abrasions are present near the top rim where hardware was previously seated. ### Weight & feel Estimated at 0.8 kg to 1.2 kg; the piece feels substantial due to the thick wall of the earthenware body visible at the top aperture. ## CERAMICS MARKET VALUE $25 - $65 Updated: May 10, 2026 How we estimate value ### Who buys this Restorers of vintage lighting and collectors of mid-century modern pottery components. ### What increases value - • Integrity of the glaze without surface chips. - • Growing demand for parts to repair original 1950s ceramic lamps. ### What lowers value - • Incomplete status as a single component. - • Unmarked manufacturer lowers the premium associated with name brands like Haeger or Stangl. ### What makes top-tier examples - • Presence of an original maker's label or impressed hallmark on the base. - • Larger scale and original complementary brass hardware. ### Grade & condition Condition of the glaze, specifically the absence of 'flea bites' on the rims and the clarity of the color. ### Rarity & demand Ordinary Moderate demand Specialist market [Browse similar ceramics objects](/archive/ceramics) For informational purposes only, not a formal appraisal. ## FROM THE CABINET OF [AN ](/cabinet/angelawren76) [ ### angelawren76 ](/cabinet/angelawren76) Wonderseeker • 1 item [View Full Cabinet](/cabinet/angelawren76) ### COMMENTS No comments yet.
