It does look almost identical. No genie in it. I checked.

Funny thing is that it does turn out to be cloisonne now! The woman who evaluated the lamp sent her original response to me on accident that was meant for another client. Turns out the lamp is open work Chinese cloisonne, mid=20th century. Oops.

Just got the skinny on the lamp:
Japanese champleve rather than cloisonne
Early 20th century (to 1920)
Were very popular and, therefore, not particularly rare.
Maybe $100-$150
I like it significantly more than I need $150, so question answered.

Thanks for the input. It's hard to get a bead on what makes them valuable or rare, as i have seen some in a similar style and condition for $10K and higher. I will post some better pics of the joints and hardware. Fairly primitive from the looks of it. If it were to have any maker identification, where would that generally be?

Thanks for the reply. I researched some of the cloisonne asian vases, but could not find anything quite like this one. There is no indication that there is any loss of the enameled surface across the piece. It is clearly a design element to have the decorated design raised in relief above the undecorated metal. If cleaned, the contrast would be even greater, but the lustre of the undecorated metal below the raised and enameled pattern has dulled over time. The design elements appear intentional and uniform in this case.

I am gueesing this is Japanese, but not sure. It is a really beautiful piece with very vibrant colors. It seems to be brass, perhaps, with very intricate design painted or glazed in relief. It was my grandmother's. If I was brave enough to clean it, I believe that it would be eye-popping. I am afraid I would damage it. Does anyone recognize the style or origin? I'd like to do more research on this but not sure where to start.

Antique Questions Forum / Early American Pewter Teapot
« on: April 07, 2011, 06:38:12 am »
It appears I have an early American pewter teapot made by G Richardson in the 1800's. It is in really good condition. One of the antiques handed down to me by my father last year that I am beginning to research. Any pewter experts around? Maybe not worth a ton of money, but it is very cool.

Hi,
I am new to the forum, but I plan to be a frequent poster over the long term. I happen to be the current owner of the table seen at the below link. It is a pembroke table of unknown age and origin. I know that it is fairly old, and has been around since my great grandparents owned it. I only have a few pictures, but hopefully someone can give me some direction. At some point, my father was led to believe that this table may be of extraordinary value. I have yet to find any evidence of that.
Thanks
