    Not sure if it's Japanese or Chinese or the age. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Believe it's an antique but not sure if the period.

      Looks like a Japanese incense lamp. RER

      Nice and unusual!
      It seems to be a Chinese paktong (metal alloy) oil opium lamp, lacking the thick glass chimney.
      One in yellow alloy:
