This insert sits atop a metal bulb pin and rotates with heat from bulb. The heat pushes the aluminum vents to do this.
Base is an unknown material. Is hard and molten or formed.
Piece has usual age to it so it isn't in pristine condition. I took most with a flash -Pictures will show more flaws than what would be noted in a well lit room.
Will need to be cleaned. Motion piece looks to have had reinforcements. Unsure as I have never seen a lamp like this one. SEE PICTURES & ASK QUESTIONS.FEATURES FOO DOGS, BUDDHA, PAGODA, GOLDFISH.. Was a project lamp to be re-corded. The cord was brittle and broke off. Wish to have the electric cord to show how pretty this piece is.
(claiming they were from the USA). It is a headache to not only me but it is a waste of your time too.
