Hubby and I went into a tiny little thrift store today and he found this bug lamp. It is made of brass and glass. We paid 10 bucks for it. It's a pretty cool little piece! :D







I think I will try to get one of those blue or pink night lights and see what that will do to it's overall color when it is lit up! :D

These lamps date from the early 2000s and the glass came in several different colors and patterns.

They were sold by stores that normally have large inventories of cheap, Chinese-made home decor, such as Hobby Lobby and Pier 1 Imports.

I just purchased one off ebay(same exact as yours but the electicals were removed). I thought it may be an antique paide $17 for it fom England and $40 to ship. Come to find out it was manufactured in 1998. look at at the bottom of yours. So I got ripped off(my own fault). But pretty cool anyway
