A 19th Century Chinese famille rose oviform vase and cover decorated with panels of figures in pavillion settings, now with gilt metal mounts having rams head handles and converted to an oil lamp with etched glass shade with clear glass chimney, on a cast gilt metal base 65cm

The body of this vase has possibly had restoration evidenced by several small sections of chipping paint though there are no visible cracks. There is some minor fritting to the foot. The reservoir is in good condition. The shade has a small hole smashed in one side.
