[QUOTE="bluemoon, post: 188001, member: 1296"]I'm not so sure about that. The underside of the lid is exactly the same colour as the rest of the lamp so it's the same metal. I don't think it was painted because of that. 90% of this type oil lamps around this area are spray-painted. It's rare to find one that isn't. The lid sits like a glove. If you look at the foot of the lamp and the middle part, there is very little similarity in the pattern between the two as well, even though they are one solid piece. The lid also has some flowers on it & similar "sand-like" texture that can be found elsewhere on the lamp. The only things that stand out are the colour (but that doesn't prove anything) and the amount of sets of patterns on the lid (4) even though the middle part and foot only have three sets of the pattern they have. I only paid 30$ for the whole thing and 10$ for nail polish remover. I'm just disappointed that it might not be a "perfect" item after all..[/QUOTE]
