The body is a beautifully proportioned elongated amphora \/ gourd form with deep vertical ribbing - costolato - that catches and refracts light. The glass itself is a delicate, ethereal blush pink, cased and hand-blown with the signature Bullicante technique: thousands of tiny controlled air bubbles suspended within the glass, intermingled with a fine dusting of silver leaf and silver avventurina, as perfectly captured in your macro photos. The effect is like pink champagne with glittering silver stars trapped inside. The glass glows when lit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mount is what makes this pair truly exceptional and justifies its value. The glass rests on a monumental, heavily carved Italian silvered metal base and crowned with a matching silvered collar and melon finial. As your superb close-ups show, this is not plain silver - it is a museum-quality distressed finish: heavy silver leaf over a rich red-orange bole, with intentional and time-worn cracking, flaking, chipping, and rub-through revealing layers of history. The base is a Baroque rocaille form with scrolled feet, acanthus leaves and cabochon details, with the paint peeling to show the red beneath - the coveted \"fresco\" or \"excavated\" patina that designers pay a premium for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRetaining their original couture style French tole parchment shades. The shades are hand-painted and lacquered in a glossy ivory: trimmed with a dusty rose mauve band at top and bottom, a faux faux-marble silver-grey band, and a brilliant gold leaf band. The top is decorated with a hand-applied gilt cartouche - acanthus scrolls and floral garlands in raised gold leaf with engraved cross-hatching and antiquing, as seen in your macro of the shade top. The interior is lined in soft blush. When illuminated, the shades cast a warm, romantic, golden glow that complements the pink glass perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eDimensions:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eHeight: 33.5 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eDiameter: 17 in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eSold As:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eSet of 2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003ePower Source:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eHardwired\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eVoltage:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003e110-150v\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eLampshade:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eIncluded\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eStyle:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003eMid-Century Modern\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eMaterials and Techniques:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003eBrass,Bronze, Metal, Murano Glass, parchment\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003ePlace of Origin:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003eItaly\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eDate of Manufacture:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eMid-20th Century\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_51822ac7 _3681075f\"\u003eCondition:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_49da11ae _3681075f\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6 _cb16180a\"\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"_1862016c _57a9be25\" type=\"button\"\u003eDistressed\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_fe6d36b6\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_57a9be25\"\u003eWear consistent with age and use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Melissa Levinson Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51589576622386,"sku":null,"price":3800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/4321\/6690\/files\/f_51443802_1786762428888_bg_processed.jpg?v=1787009828","url":"https:\/\/melissalevinson.com\/products\/pair-of-murano-pink-bullicante-glass-table-lamps-barovier-toso-style","provider":"Melissa Levinson Antiques ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
