Such a super awesome lamp! Takes a standard bulb. Made of a plastic fiber glass that reminds me of pine needles. It does turn on but it has the old kind of cord without a ground so the purchaser may want it re-wired. Cream colored with carmel colored fibers throughout. Some vintage wear, some fading of the gold colored neck and two very fine unnoticeable fractures on the base (last pic). The neck is bendable! height: about 13.5in tall base width: 8in
