Polished natural Jadestone in earthy tones of moss green, tan, Ivory and coral, become luminescent in this unique shade. Stone shade is crafted with the same copper foil process that is used on the stained glass shades. Mahogany Bronze finished base completes this handsome table lamp.
Find the largest piece of jadestone and the next largest that are dead center in the photo. Now imagine that they are both opaque to light - light will not shine through. When you look at the lamp in daylight, all the pieces are colored and it looks nice. At night, when lighted, it looks good too - but - my lamp has the two pieces in it that appear black and not translucent like the rest. You do not see anything like that in the photo.
I called Wayfair and they were very nice about it. The lady said I could get a replacement, but it might have the same problem. She offered me 25 if I kept the lamp I have. Since I can turn the two panels to the back of the lamp, I took the discount and kept it. I know lamps are expensive, but personally, I think this one is worth about $200, not $350.
If you put two regular 60 watt bulbs in it, you will see just a bit of the edge of the bulbs below the shade. It you find candelabra bulbs with a standard base, they won't show. The shade itself is only about 7.5 vertical inches and so the lamp itself is a bit small overall.
Also, note that it is a little top-heavy because the shade is jadestone. It is fine sitting on the table, just be careful if you go to move it.. Don. Oak Ridge, TN. Wed Sep 18 2013
