It has been newly rewired for US use, with a free plug swap for whichever country you'll use it in, and the height given includes the shade.

The base takes a graceful pear form, rising from a rounded lower body through a tapered shoulder to a banded neck, with molded ornament running the full height in stacked registers — zigzags, scallops, lozenges, and beaded lines alternating warm ochre and glossy green.

Amitābha Studio transformed the vintage base into a one-of-a-kind lamp using non-invasive methods that preserve the original ceramic, then finished it with a new empire shade in a textured flax weave with soft gold trim. This piece has an attribution mark,
