This beautiful - hand painted Japanese lamp is signed by the artist of the base. The lamp is delicately hand painted with gilt gold and turquoise designs. It is stunning. The porcelain body is positioned on a gilt wood base with a felted bottom. The wiring is relatively new ~c2008. It has been checked for safely and is ready to plug in and use. Although not pictured I have and will send the original harp. The lamp measures 17" from the base to the top of the socket and is ~8" in diameter.
