Rewired to meet US electrical standards, each lamp uses one base light bulb. Each light bulb can use up to a maximum of sixty watts. We recommend using LED lights because they help preserve the antique fixture longer. However, incandescent light gives it a warmer glow. On the bottom, both lamps have an original groove made for the electrical wire to fit so it lays flat on the surface it is placed. Due to being handmade, there are irregularities from when it was blown. For example, the taller lamp has a spot that is cloudy and the shorter lamp has a spot that looks like a fracture but is actually the spot where the spike design ended, the break, so to speak, of the spike. The shades have slight vertical slants. It is these signs of natural imperfections that make the artistry alluring. There are, however, flea-bit chips on some of the tips of the spikes that can't be seen (see images).

Exceptional pair of Murano glass lamps in the manner of Ercole Barovier. Founded in 1295, Barovier is a respected name in Italian Murano glass design. In the 1920-1939's, designer Ercole Barovier began a 50-year career as the artistic director of Barovier & Toso. These lamps made in the 1960s are attributed to his design. This timeless design that first appeared in the 1930s called "Rostrato" by Ercole Barovier and continues to meet today's home decor needs. The lamps are made in clear "cristallo" glass that has an outer layer of rows characterized by spikes called "rostri" that protrude from the surface. This Rostrato pattern is done as the glass is cooling off. The natural non-uniform glass spikes made by the skilled glassmith create the allure and beauty of the design.
