I like the ceramic lamp, which is grey, not blue. The shade had some manufacturing flaws on it or maybe was mishandled while being packaged. I rated this a 3 as the original photographs is misleasing as far as the color goes and the laws in the "weave" of the black lining over the shade are a  bit obvious to the human eye. However, the lamp looks good. I purchased this as a conversation piece and even with one of the new types of lightbulbs in it, the lamp provides bright light.
