Lamp

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a glass lamp. The base of the lamp is a clear, circular plate. A short, conical glass piece rises from the center of the plate. The middle section of the lamp features a series of stacked, rounded rings made of dark metal. Above the metal section is a long, thin glass stem. At the top of the lamp is a large, spherical glass shade with a small opening at the top. The background of the image is a plain wall with a gradient of light to dark gray.
