Very good condition. Shade leading with a warm brown finish to the exterior with green highlights, stronger in the lower portions. The interior leading is dark brown with some areas of light oxidation and bright green highlights throughout. Tulip blossoms are comprised of a variety of striated glass panes that range from pinks, fuchsia, and dark purple. Approximately five tight hairlines, not visually distracting. Overall, the shade is a very strong example. Base with medium-brown patina throughout with dark green highlights in recessed areas and brighter green around sockets and underside of base with some very small losses to patina around the widest part. Three matching Weber sockets with matching Weber paddle switches. Finished with an original acid-etched heat cap. Wired with contemporary cloth cord for American use and functions properly.
