This Italian fantastic bulbous vintage stand alone monumental ceramic lamp is great for a desk, console, table or buffet and has the wonderful, crackle glazed finish.There is a slight gray effect over white in the crackle. The wonderful Aztec forms and shapes on the surface give it great dimension, and texture. It is 25" High to the light socket. It does not have a shade. It is Italian with the look of Aztec meets Greek. It is monumental and fabulous! It was once rewired about 15 years ago and we recommend you rewire at your end again. from the early 60's. This was a studio piece. We have never ever seen another one. This is a winner and a very unusual fabulous commanding lamp.
