Two green ceramic chinese table lamps, PAT tested, wood bases. 33cm and 30 cm highCONDITION REPORT The first lamp and taller of the 2 pictured on the right in the first picture appears in good order overall. It has been re-wired with black flex and electrically tested for the purposes of sale at auction. The ceramic body appears in clean order and is free from chips and cracks. The decorative wooden base it sits on does have a crack that has been repaired previously. This is not obvious unless you are specifically examining the piece and does not detract from it or effect its structural stability. The second lamp has a raised floral and bird detail to the body that appears in good order. There is a faint crack to the body of the lamp. As we can not see internally it is difficult to know if the crack is just to the external glazing or if it does penetrate through the body. The lamp sits on a lighter decorative wooden base and as with the first lamp has been re-wired with gold flex and electrically safety tested for the purposes of sale. The wooden base is in good, clean order.
