Shade: appears to be in generally good condition; there are perhaps only two or three small glass segments with tight hairline cracks; the turtlebacks appear to be in good condition and do not appear to be loose (nice and sturdy); the glass is uniformly soiled and would benefit from a careful cleaning; the glass in the blown-out section appears to be in good, undamaged condition Base: typical wear, dulling and soiling to the patina; the patina is completely worn away on the main part of the blown-out section of the body; lamp has been rewired; not tested; the domed heat cap appears to be authentic and original; finial is a later replacement
