It's some kind of metal. It's 17" high. Weighs a little over 3 pounds. The guy I bought it from "said" it was old and it's looks old but then so did the doorstop I bought from him. I think the doorstop is a reproduction.
TIA

Probably junk to most, but it's the kind of lamp that would appeal to some especially because of the garland or swag looking detail around that center section. Can only see it from the side, but I'm assuming that it probably has a floral kind of flair to that swag??? I'll bet if a coat of white paint were applied and the "chic garland" was mentioned in the title she'd sell. And... if you can find a way to hang a few prisms from those holes in the collar around the top you might just have a winner there.

glassgrl, reminds me of a urn that someone put a top on.
The holes could have been if it was/is a lamp to let heat out??

actually I like it! I've plan on using it for a base and making a stained glass shade for it.
I love lamps. And little tables. It's hard for me to resist buying them

glassgrl, looking at the photos again, a lamp manufacture would not have brought the electric Cord out like that it would have been from the bottom. JMO

Sorry to read about your friend, Fluff. Your comments about colonoscopy for Christmas are right on. About 90% of colorectal cancers are thought to be preventable.
COLONOSCOPY
Colonoscopy is a test using a scope and video that lets your health care professional examine the lining of your colon and rectum. Colonscopy can detect polyps (growths on the lining of the colon or rectum) and early cancers. Removal of polyps, which generally can be performed during colonoscopy, can pre-vent colorectal cancer. Colonoscopy is an outpatient screening test performed at a hospital or a clinic.
It isn't the most pleasant experience in the world - but you won't regret it and you won't have to worry about it again for several years - and it just may save your life.

Ditto Neglus' post. I'm feel so bad about your friend, As Fluff said , if you have any history of polyps or colon cancer in your family, 50 may be too late to prevent detect and remove cancer-prone polyps. My three siblings and I have all had colonoscopies and got our money's worth in all of them, having many cancer-prone polyps removed BEFORE they turned cancerous. My Mom wasn't as lucky, Her polyps weren't detected and turned cancerous. Thankfully, it was detected and surgically removed before it spread. If you've put it off, get moving! Schedule it before the end of the year if your deductible has been met.
