Glass lamp Italian?
« on: August 22, 2011, 10:46:52 AM »
Hello
I wondered if anybody knows where this was made or who by?
Large glass lamp with striped pattern to the back, stands 35cm high and 18cm widest part, looks like a cobra. Old gold wire and on off switch so not a modern piece and it was purchased second had some 15 years ago but the person I acquired it off knows nothing about it.
It just a stunning piece and I would like to know something of it's history.I'm thinking Italian?
Cheers.
