MAJOLICA? CAPODIMONTE? LAMP - HOW DO I CHANGE BASE?

I found these 2 lamps in a shed of a house a friend bought to flip. I think they are Majolica?
The only problem is the bases are rusted & need to be replaced + they will need to be rewired.
Can the bases be changed?
Are these Majolica? Capodimonte?
Any idea of their age?
I appreciate any help.

 

Hey...there's a party going on there....I want in !!!

if the bases are original.....leave em for someone else to play with....

 

1960s Capodimonte style

Changing the base out will be hard. Only because it will be difficult to find something to match the original shape that fits the pottery.

A soft brush and mineral oil will clean some of the corrosion and keep it from corroding further.

There was a jewelry thread in which other cleaners were suggested that worked a little better than the mineral oil. Maybe you or someone else can find that thread.

 

Hi,
I am itching to get my fingers on those bases. They could be cleaned up and redone and no one would know the difference. Do not send them to me since I would ignore my household duties to work on them.

Not Majolica?
How do I rewire - If I pull out old wiring can I just guide a new one up the hole?
If I can rewire, I think I would be better just covering the bottom - I'm afraid any pressure will break badly rusted parts.
What would I expect to pay to have someone (gregsglass?!) clean & cover them - and would it be worth it?
Thank you!
