DescriptionThree handled squat vase with yellow-brown-green glaze with a yellow water lily and two yellow buds with green leaves. Three strap handles eminate from the flaring lip and join the body at the waist of the vase. The vase is mounted by a long bolt which ties together a brass footed base and a brass socket which holds the font and burner which in turn support a caramel colored round glass globe decorated with gilt griffin-like beasts and stylized cloud designs. This globe fits over a clear glass chimney attached to the lamp.
