It comes with a tall harp and finial. I could not easily remove the harp and didn't want to damage it, so it will be shipped as is, and be aware it may be difficult to remove if you want to swap it out for a smaller harp. No shade or bulb included.

The middle part of the lamp is a cranberry red color that has a cut to clear design. The design is actually cut into the glass on a wheel - not pressed glass. The design depicts a grapevine with leaves all the way around.

The base is NOT made of marble! It is actually milk glass with a painted gold design all the way around. Some wear to the gold paint.

No chips, cracks, or unusual wear on the glass parts (either the red middle part or the milk glass base). Electrical parts work. There is what looks like a drip-type linear stain on the INSIDE of the red bowl, leaving a little cloudy line. The only area where that is really noticeable is where it passes through one of the cut-to-clear leaves of the grapevine. (See close up photo - stain is directly in front of my finger). Some areas of wear/pitting to the metal part that connects the milk glass base to the red middle part. Exceptionally fine condition for a piece that's well over 100 years old. (Of course, the electrical parts are not that old).

Milk glass base measures 5" X 5"". With the harp in place, lamp measures about 26" tall up to the tip of the finial. (BTW, the finial screws on/off easily, but the tip of it is threaded, indicating there was likely a further decorative piece to the finial that is no longer there. Finial is easily replaceable).

TO REITERATE: NO SHADE OR BULB INCLUDED, AND FINIAL IS INCOMPLETE. less
