    Forgive the photos I used my cell phone & took them in my van as soon as I left the thrift store I found it in.
    I'm 98% sure it's glass from the sound it makes when my keys hit it.
    The searching 've done on my phone makes me ask if this could be a Galle?
    I've looked but can not find any makers mark.
    Any information would be greatly appreciated!

    PS. The flowers have a raised/edge to them you can feel when you touch them.

    It's a copy of a Galle lamp, sometimes they are marked Galle TIP. I see quite a few similar come through the auctions in the UK. Even as copies they can fetch decent money as they are attractive and have a lot of work in them. Plenty on ebay etc for assessing value.

    Many of these are made in Romania. Always attractive though.

    OMG! So yesterday I got a U-Haul golf bag box - too tall but width was perfect - and I stood the lamp next to it so I could cut it down to the right size with a razor/box cutter, but as I came to a corner I leaned over to check that the cut was straight - and I bumped the box, which bumped the lamp, which fell over and broke into 100 pieces!!! aagghhh!
    I messaged the buyer with a apology & refunded his money, but it still hurts to think how dumb I was!

    Yes - not only because the profit was really big, but also because it was so damn pretty - I'm starting to grind my teeth just thinking about it again!

    That’s a shame. I’d have been terrified to ship it to begin with.

    If I had done this it wouldn't have been so much the shouting as it would have been the numerous expletives I would have been calling myself. ;) :jawdrop::eek::rolleyes::facepalm::bag::bag: :hilarious::hilarious:
