Classic "Chinese" form, in Blanc De Chine - this lamp was originally purchased in the Parzinger showroom, however I am not able to document it as a Parzinger design. Chic, elegant and sophisticated design, very good original, working condition, shade not included. Height in listing is the total Height, Height to top of ceramic base is 17" . The post that holds the shade is adjustable in height, to accommodate variations in shade dimensions.
