This perfume lamp is crafted of painted porcelain in the form of an owl perched atop a base. Apertures on the rear diffuse illumination and fumes when switched on. The head detaches via a threaded fitting, allowing access to install the power cord routed inside and the bulb socket below. The porcelain figure invokes a sense of poise, while the design provides both form and function as a decorative source of light.

Underneath the base, the manufacturer's seal Aerozon can be seen in orange, along with the place of origin, Germany.

The cord is frayed and should be replaced, as can be seen in the pictures. less
