The lamps arrived in perfect condition.  However, I was very disappointed with the finish on both lamps because the glaze was poorly applied.  The lamp is a beautiful blue about 2/3 rds of the way down the base and the rest is a creamy white.  At the part that separates the colors, it is splotchy, uneven and crooked. Since these lamps would have on a console table near the couch where we often sit, the obvious flaws would have been too noticeable.  These lamps were on back order for months so it is disappointing to know that I cannot enjoy them.
