The Opaline Bedside

A small Italian table lamp in opaline glass, most likely Murano workshop production of the 1970s. The fluted foot and twisted loop handle are worked in milky white opaline, while the bell-form shade graduates from opaline to a clear, amber-tinted glass with a hand-shaped ruffled rim. Brass trim rings finish the shade and foot. Unsigned, as is usual for workshop production of the period.
