Your lamp's design is based
<p>Your lamp's design is based on Oriental incense burners. These were made in two types, those that were originally made as lamps and marketed as such, and those where a genuine incense burner has been butchered to make one ;~). Yours appears to be of the first variety and is worth about what you paid for it.</p><p> </p><p>Lovejoy </p>
Hi Lovejoy, Are you certain
<p>Hi Lovejoy,</p><p>Are you certain that it was made as a Lamp originally? I don't think you can tell from the photo but there are a couple different places that have weldings and cutmarks. When I figure out how to up load more pics, I'll make sure you can see these areas.</p>
It wouldn't matter much one
<p>It wouldn't matter much one way or the other, unless a piece is of extreme rarity, which this isn't. Once a piece has been altered this way it is devalued.</p><p> </p><p>Lovejoy </p>
