Handmade Samurai Lamp Anonymous 2016-02-02 05:18:49 Post No. 940042 [Report]

Hi /diy/, wasn't sure what board I should post this on so forgive me if it's not allowed. I bought what appears to be a handmade samurai lamp at a swap meet for 5$ from some old lady who literally had this and like 2 other things on her table. Never seen anything like it until now, thought it was too cool to pass up. can anyone tell me about it or if it's worth anything? Looks extremely old. It's also fully functional and about 2 feet tall.

Yeah, what anon said, it's Chinese. Or at least the figure is a chinese person, who knows where the lamp was made. No way to assess it's value from that crappy ass picture. It could be hand made by a famous artist or it could be flea market kitsch, honestly can't tell.

Check the base and everywhere else for a manufacturer or artists mark. That'll give you some ammunition to google with.
