The lower glass base is made from white opalescent glass called "osso", which means "bone", fixed on a chromium plated base. The round large crater on the upper side fits an interior bulb holder for one Edison bulb. On top of the crater there is a darker glass ball with a chrome ring around the opening. Depending on the type of light bulb used, the lamp is illuminated in a different way. The electric wire with on/off switch have been replaced with a new one, with European plug. Very good vintage condition, clean and ready for use. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
