[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 134598, member: 56"]Gila: That cameo lamp looks more elaborate than mine. I saw another of those lamps that I did not buy because the carving was of a much lower quality. Maybe I should have picked it up anyhow. The one I did not buy was marked Italy, which is why I have attributed the one I did have (unmarked) to that country. I bought one of those mushroom lamps, new, as a Christmas gift for my sister back in the day. The one I purchased was more elaborate than either of those shown so far, but it has not survived. *crs* That floor lamp is beautiful. I have a Chinese themed Aladdin lamp (at least I think of it as Chinese themed) that has the same finial as that first lamp you show. It's a family piece and has probably been around our family since new. There is an unfortunate, but honest, amount of wear to the copper luster accents. Finials can be important with Aladdin lamps. They are collectible in their own right. [ATTACH=full]34894[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
