I personally love these lamps. A beautiful neutral cream color, off set with the darker top and base make them incredibly attractive and ready to fit into any decor. The raised areas and a few spots on the rim has chips to the glaze, which I feel adds even more to its charm!. One base of the lamp is a little offset which someone could align to where it should be. A great size to add on end tables besides a sofa or to add a lamp on each nightstand. They are sure to "lighten" up a room! Height given is to the top of the holder ,lamp shade attachment is higher. Dress them up with your choice of lampshade!
