Subject:Translation help sought: Chinese metallic lamp
Posted By: Nelson K Sat, Jun 20, 2020 IP: 4.35.158.174

Looking for help translating etchings on Chinese lamp. It came to the USA in 1987. The metallic "stand" appears to be repurposed to be a lamp part. Two script etchings, to botanical. Besides translation, seeking ID of botanical images and what, if any, prior purpose the lamp "stand" served.

I think it is a tin tea-leaf container.
