Additional Notes & Condition Report
Base: now has a nice uniform mottled dark green and chocolate brown colored patina; wear/rubbing to patina; each of the three sockets retains three ball screws; on/off switch appears to be genuine, however, it may be an old but replaced know; base stands nice and straight and is stable on a table surface; lamp is currently wired; wiring and sockets not tested
Shades: each appears to be in generally good condition; no apparent hairline cracks, chips, etc., however, all three shades do have shallow nicks and small chips to their fitter rim areas; each shade has small internally trapped air bubbles, in the making, not of any consequence; one shade has what appears to be a large C-shaped crack, located near the bottom rim area of the shade (opposite end to the fitter rim area), visible only on the interior side, however, in this appraiser's opinion, this part of the shade appears to be the result of a minor flaw in the making, perhaps the result of an absence of the application of a thin film or layer of glass that would have been cream or almond in coloration, visible elsewhere on the interior side, and now the inner glass lining in this area instead still remains bright white in coloration (on the interior side); there is no appearance of any flaw when the shade is viewed on the exterior side; rather, this appears to be a manufacturing flaw, (shade was still signed and retailed), not of any real consequence
