<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 1569300, member: 6444&quot;]Then for your specific example, it is not astral (no shadows) because of the metal nipple on the bottom. When the light would shine there would be a shadow underneath from the nipple. And of course it has straight sides like the Indian examples instead of curved sides like the link you found. You suggest yours might have replaced metal work on it, but it is the glass that is relatively fragile, so the odds of someone replacing metalwork is small. And the metal has some age, but it does not look antique to me. Late 19th century into the 20th century is about as early as I could judge this to be if it were mine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
