Extremely rare oil lamp. Blue and white decoration with a dragon winding around the neck and becoming the handle. Below is a phoenix. The two together signify a man and a woman. They are surrounded by scattered stylized clouds and flames. The underside of the top level is decorated to depict the flaming pearl. The three-clawed dragon is common to the preceding Yuan dynasty. The foot is skirted with a simple wave scroll.

The handle is from the mold, not free-form method. Early Chinese custom places this either in a temple or a tomb. The heavy wear suggests the origin being that of a temple. Almost definitely one of a pair.

Note: Because of the rarity of this piece, I've provided many more images for viewing. My camera skills are somewhat limited, as is my setup for taking pictures.  True colors are seen best in the spectrum of natural sunlight, specifically the primary color blue.  Since this color is an important aspect to the authenticity of this piece, the four images above were taken in direct sunlight so the viewer can realize the true color and see that it's derived from Mohammedan blue. All other images below were taken under fluorescent lighting conditions, thus appearing somewhat gray.
