The Solar Lamp by Cornelius and Son features a lamp with a clear glass chimney and a large, round, clear glass globe with etched designs on it. The globe sits atop a gold metal base with a narrower top and a wider bottom. A gold band encircles the bottom of the globe. Six clear glass prisms hang from the band. The base has a decorative design with a wide base, a narrow middle and a flared top. The background is a gradient gray color. A light bulb is lit inside the lamp.
