    I'm confused. What does the "umbrella" have to do with the other pictures?

    The shade frame doesn't look "Art Deco" to me - more 50's-60's with the odd shape.

    I couldn't even make out what it was, so I changed it to black & white (nothing else worked).

    What Messi and Abuela said.
    Is the umbrella the lamp, then?

    yup that's the one huge blades on it with no guard 12 in flame to start but then you turn it down after it starts like a lamp

    now he uses a peltier chip fan uses heat from the wood stove to power a little chip with a fan in a holder , the hotter the stove gets the faster it goes. it fell off the stove once and bent the blades armature now it makes a funny sound the faster it goes the more noise it makes lol drives me crazy

    I found this mushroom lamp , one of my kids friends were looking at it and i think may have dropped it as the shade is chipped now

    Interesting. My irridescent vase sold for about $130 at auction last night. Cost me a dollar fiddy. ;)

    I think it was modern, decently done, but not old. The two people fighting over it were convinced it was Loetz, and old. To me, it was too heavy, had no wear at all, a greyed pontil, and no where near the sheer glow of proper Loetz.

    I stilll think it was an honest copy, but hey, I ain't complaining!
