Description

VINTAGE LARGE DELFT HAND PAINTED CERAMIC WINDMILL LAMP
THE TOWER IS IN ABSOLUTELY MINT CONDITION----------ONE OF THE BLADES HAS BROKEN OFF SOMETIME IN THE PAST--WHOEVER DID THE       REPAIR DID
A PRETTY GOOD JOB AT GETTING THE COLOR RIGHT---YOU CANNOT TELL UNLESS YOUR REALLY LOOKING FOR IT FROM THE FRONT--THE REAR
YOU CAN
DEFINITELY
TELL.
I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER THE BLADES ARE SUPPOSED TO SPIN OR NOT --WHEN I GOT THIS THE BLADES WERE SNUG AGAINST THE                  TOWER.
I PUT A SPACER IN BETWEEN THE BLADES AND TOWER SO NOW THE BLADES MOVE FREELY BY HAND OR YOU CAN TAKE THE SPACER OUT.
ALL THE BLADES HAVE CRAZING UNDER THE GLAZE LAYER IN THE BACK--(SEE LAST PIC ) TYPICAL FOR GOING ON 70 YRS.
LIGHT WORKS AS SEEN IN PICS.
THE DELFT PRINTING ON THE BLADE IS RAISED AS I CAN RUB MY FINGERNAIL AND FEEL IT AND WELL AS THE HOLLAND ON THE INSIDE.
I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS HAS ANY SIGNIFICANT VALUE OR NOT.
THE LIGHT HAS AN ANCIENT CORD--THERE IS NO ON/OFF SWITCH--PLUG IN TO TURN LIGHT ON--PULL PLUG-OUT FOR OFF.
DIMENSIONS ARE 14" TALL--- THAT`S WITH THE BLADE POINTED ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP--BASE IS 7" WIDE.
AS DESCRIBED BEFORE THE TOWER IS IN ABSOLUTLY MINT CONDITION---NO CHIPS OR
CRACKS I CAN FEEL THE PAINT SO I DO NOT
KNOW IF THIS IS HAND PAINTED OR NOT.
IF YOU NEED ANY ADDITIONAL PICS FEEL FREE TO REQUEST---I`M ALWAYS PROMPT WITH A RESPONSE.
THE BLADES WILL BE REMOVED FOR SAFETY REASONS WHEN SHIPPING.
I ONLY SHIP WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL US
