EXTREMELY RARE AND VERY UNIQUE BIRD OF PARADISE HANDMADE & PAINTED TABLETOP LAMP. BASE & LEAVES ON BASE, APPEAR TO BE A LAYER OF PLASTER OVER METAL? THE STALK, LEAVES & LARGE PRIMARY PETAL, ARE PAINTED METAL. THE SMALLER PETALS, PROTRUDING FROM INSIDE OF LARGE PETAL, ARE SOME SORT OF TRANSLUCENT PLASTIC OR ACRYLIC. THIS MATERIAL ALLOWS THE LIGHT, FROM THE SMALL HOT PINK BULB, TO FILTER THRU CREATING A MELLOW, DRAMATIC EFFECT – MUCH LIKE STAINED GLASS. THIS LAMP WASN’T DESIGNED TO PROVIDE BRIGHT LIGHT, BUT CREATE A SOFT LIGHTED ATMOSPHERE – MUCH LIKE A NIGHTLIGHT. BOTTOM OF LAMP STATES C7 SIZE (7 WATT MAXIMUM) – THE SIZE OF AN OLE SCHOOL CHRISTMAS TREE BULB. INFO ON BOTTOM OF LAMP: MADE IN THE PHILIPPINES. NO COMPANY OR DATE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU SEE ANOTHER LIKE THIS ONE. I’VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS & NOT SEEN ANOTHER – EVEN SIMILAR. CONDITION: GOOD PRE-OWNED VINTAGE. THE PLASTER-LIKE COATING ON BASE APPEARS TO BE CHIPPED ON TIP OF LEAF & THE SILVERTONE BASE METAL STALK HAS SOME PAINT LOSS. BOTH CAN BE TOUCHED UP IF YOU CHOOSE. I CAN DO OR YOU CAN. HOT PINK BULB IS INCLUDED & WORKS. QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED.
