Description

This is a light from the 50s I believe. It was my Grandmother's. It looks like a Japanese lantern or Japanese type building. there is a well for perfume in the top. When lit the light warms the perfume and you smell the scent. There is a gold dragon on the top, trees and blossoms on the sides. I would say it is probably a night light since the bulb is the kind you use in a nightlight. It has the original cord and plug and the lamp is in perfect condition. There are o chips, cracks or scrtches on it. It does still work. On the bottom there is a symbol and I think it may be Hummel but not sure.
