 Many thanks Peter

It very interesting to know that it was processed in Hong Kong.

The wood plinth and top cover that have been made to customise the vase into a lamp look like art deco.

Is there any indication from the mark that this is so

regards

Hello John,
The mark says "processed in Hong Kong".
It doesn't say "painted" or "decorated" as it sometimes does with items made in China but decorated in either Hong Kong or Macao. So I don't know if in this case the decoration is meant or even the clay body.
