<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 324293, member: 5833"]Although she is of the generic pretty lady type from well into the 20th century, she really is very well cut & artisan has made very good use of the color layers, giving some blush to her cheek & tint to her hair. Some of the older ones sit on metal tripods with Sirens' heads at the top. Love that you have her in working order. Doesn't it make a lovely glow?</p><p><br /></p><p>Tried to rejigger a little glass lamp base I have to accommodate a shell lampshade but set the project aside when I realized I was going to have to redo the wiring completely & put in an in line switch to get rid of the knob preventing the shell from sitting down. Missing that metal collar around the opening where the spire has been sawn off, so hope it won't wobble too much. Should pull it out & try to finish it off. Not that I have a spare outlet where I could plug it in.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you light yours regularly?
