This lamp does not glow, although it is very similar to Houze uranium glass. There is some normal surface wear and minor paint loss on the iron base, but no chips or cracks in the glass. One of the little sliders that secure the harp around the socket is missing and the other is cracked from age. These are not really necessary as the harp fits snugly in the holder without them and is not loose. Needs a good cleaning. The electric works, but the wiring is old and should be inspected/replaced before use. Measures about 18-1/2″ tall including the finial with a 6″ square base at the feet.
