This is an antique reverse painted lamp base with a rural scene painted on it. It is in fair condition. The lamp is approx. 9 1/2" tall and takes a lamp shade that clips on to the lightbulb. It does have a hairline crack that doesn't seem to run all the way through to the inside from what I can see and it has a couple of little chips around the bottom. There is a couple of places where the frosting has been scuffed as well. I decided not to provide a lamp shade to keep the shipping costs to a minimum since they are readily available in most areas. The lamp does work and you can see the photos of the chips and crack. It is still a very beautiful piece with the imperfections not bein very noticeable.
