The lamp itself is a neat genie bottle shape. I bought gray although it's not a traditional gray. It's more like a dark creme color. Lampshape is very strong and not like the typical lightweight ones. Only 4 out of 5 stars because the gray ish color and the glaze and ceramic part was missing about a half inch from the top. It was sealed...the color didn't go to the top. Note: the bottom of the "genie bottle" is very wide and takes up table space.
