At some point the lamp was electrified. Originally it was fueled by kerosene or oil. Part of the old oil lamp still remains (see photos.) The metal base of the lamp is approx. 3 1/2 inches tall. The shade is approx. 4 1/2 inches in diameter at the top and 4 inches at the bottom. I plugged the lamp in and it works. T is an etched design on the glass that is just gorgeous!
