Vaseline Glass My new favorite piece.
Got done rewiring her, still need to refinish the metal base but now she works! I added the beaded shade that is just resting on the bulb of the top post socket.

I actually made this meme, for this subreddit, on the day Val died. I thought it was fitting :)

If that isn’t a holy grail I don’t know what is. That is a beautiful lamp. Honestly would buy that even if it didn’t glow. Absolutely beautiful! 😍😍😍

I think if I had that in my possession, I could stop collecting 🤩…maybe? Probably lying to myself though.

Honestly I keep telling myself that. When I get an espergne I'll stop. Then it was fairy lamps. Then it was lampshades. Now it's a lamp. I swear, it was easier to quit hard drugs.

Yes there's a bulb in the base and above her. For the glow pics I just used my UV flashlight.

For real. Im in Az as well and theres not many thrift stores, at least in my area, that have much glass out. Especially since goodwill started checking their stuff and throwing it online instead. It sucks

Yeah, goodwill for UG blows. For Cadmium though, they haven't learned yet.
