<p>[QUOTE="ascot, post: 187939, member: 96"]The folks at our local antique mall were given this lamp for a silent auction they're having for a local charity.

The cord is new but could be a replacement. The shade appears to be handmade and has a dog's breakfast of decorative elements, from the colored stones to the starburst etched glass "eyes" to the small glass putti figure inserts, and then that jeweled crown on top.
