This is a ceramic lamp import from Occupied Japan. It is not a transformed item, it was originally built to be a lamp. This item is marked Occupied Japan underneath. It appears to be an item that was made for the export market. During the time of the Japanese making the imports for the US, they worked in such a hurry to get items to us, that some of the items today will show how fast they worked. In some of the figurines, you will find the backs are not painted, etc. This lamp was quickly dried in the kiln. This caused some glaze pops that are manufacture flaws and not something that happened to the item afterward. This actual gives the item credence as an item from this period! So many fakes are turning up, it is very hard to fake this! The painting is still quite lovely. Measures: 7.25"T x 4"W         Every attempt is made to describe this item as accurately as possible. I deal in vintage and used items and every once in awhile I may miss something concerning the condition of the item.  Upon receipt of the item, I ask that you examine it thoroughly to insure the condition is as described. If there are any discrepancies, please contact me immediately by email: mevans@dreikatzenmedia.com I do my best to inspect all items before shipping. I do maintain a shipping inspection report for reference back to your item. I will wipe down vintage items to remove surface dirt, but I do not do a deep clean. This is to insure your item is not compromised with harsh cleaners.

I do combine shipping and offer a shipping discount. Your first item ships at regular price and each item added is only 1.00 per additional item added. There are some exclusions to the shipping discount due to weight or dimension of the item. In those very rare cases, the item will clearly state, 'Not Available for Combined or Discount Shipping'.

I pack your item securely to safeguard against breakage.  I purchase and use:  bubble wrap, peanuts, padded envelopes to guard against breakage. To help defray the cost of shipping supplies, I do charge a 1.00 handling fee per package.  

I do ship using USPS as my primary shipper. I can use UPS shipping if they are best for your location. Please let me know in advance of checkout and I will change your invoice to UPS shipping rates.
