Golden Dolphin table lamp made of hand-blown transparent optical ribbed glass with finely shattered gold foil throughout and yellow glass eyes. ***Will need to be rewired****

CIRCA: 1940

MAKER'S MARK: None present, attributed to artist Barovier respectively Barovier & Toso

ORIGIN: Murano, Italy

CONDITION: Please zoom in on photos and read detailed condition notes below.

DIMENSIONS: 6"diameter base x roughly 14"high (top of socket), 13"high to top of ribbed brass piece


Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Needs Restoration
Condition Notes: Needs new wiring before use. Brass top piece has age-related patina. The is a notch on the bottom base to allow the cord through so that the lamp can lay flush (original to the piece). At the top part of the back fin and at the bottom part of the back fin (last 2 photos) there are rough spots when you run your fingers over. I can't tell if this is original to the piece (where the pinched glass was applied to the body) or it if could be an old repair. It is not noticeable until you run your fingers over the back fin. That is the only potential flaw that I can see on this lovely, highly decorated lamp.

I am happy to answer any questions you may have prior to purchase or to send more photos if needed.
