Large 18\" Late 19th Century Victorian Era Ceramic Owl Table Lamp (Not Wired) For Sale

Winner receives a large, late 19th Century Victorian Era (possibly Dresden) ceramic owl table lamp. This was originally an oil lamp, but a hole was made in the bottom to electrify, although there is no wiring. The brass collar is by Williams & Bach. There is an incised marking along the bottom, seen magnified in picture 11. The piece is in very good overall condition, but with some damage that needs to be noted. There are multiple chips and losses to the foliage along the base, seen magnified in pictures 8-10. The brass collar is in good condition. There is no major damage to the body of the owl, but there is a light hairline stress crack crack along the back about halfway up. The owl\'s eyes are in pristine condition. There is gold paint loss on the beak. The lamp measures roughly 18\" x 8\" x 8\", making this a very large example. A few similar lamps have sold at major sale houses with sales prices from $1,000-$10,000.Please feel free to ask us any questions you may have prior to offerding or making an offer.
