Originally made as an oil lamp and later, when the electric light was introduced, converted to light bulbs and textile shade. The opaline lamp was mouth-blown, which is clearly visible on the underside, where the glass has marks from the glass blowers tube. The glass is white with a hint of blue. The shade is the original fringed scalloped silk shade. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
