The lamp is defined by a heavy, high-polished steel base—often finished in gleaming chrome—that provides a sturdy yet sleek foundation for the composition. Resting atop this base is an organically shaped, hand-blown glass shade, typically crafted in a "fazzoletto" or dome style that mimics the natural form of a mushroom. The glass often features a beautiful opaline effect, transitioning from a dense milky white to a semi-translucent finish that softens the light into a warm, atmospheric glow. This combination of reflective metal and delicate glass creates a sophisticated interplay of light and shadow, making it a functional art object even when unlit. Reflecting the high-quality craftsmanship of 20th-century Italian manufacturing, this lamp is an ideal accent piece for mid-century modern interiors, bringing a touch of "atomic" era charm to any sideboard or desk. it's in working order and in good condition.
