Unrestored vintage condition showing minimal wear from age and previous very careful use. Structurally sound with all parts securely attached. Sound electrical in working condition with vintage replacement wiring (plug is polarized). Cosmetically, the clay base has no obvious wear.

No glaze pops, chips, cracks, or crazing. No discoloration, staining, or otherwise detracting blemishes. The walnut stem and finial has some shallow nicks and slight wear to the finish. Both retain the original medium brown color with no significant fading or blotchiness to the finish. The shade is slightly off round, but it's not overly detracting. There are some cracks to the styrene interior, a few snags to the exterior fabric, and a general slight musty smell. The lamp was acquired from a residence that smelled musty and as such the lamp retains the faint overall odor.
