The lamp has been photographed with studio lighting, then with direct sun light and finally with illumination. All I can say is Wow. This is a rather rare version of this table lamp from this series, in that the shade consists of a brass and glass cylinder with a walnut base. The shade is composed a brass cylinder with circular holes in various sizes. The hot molten glass is then blown into the form to create the bubble effect. As a result of the high temperature of the melted glass during the crafting process, the brass developed a unique and wonderful patina. This process makes each piece a one of a kind object. As you can see from the photographs, this light is beautiful whether it is illuminated or not. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
