Pros:  It's a nice large lamp.  Gives some scale to a room.  The painting is much more accurate than similar lamps I have ordered (this was attempt #3).  I think it may be a decal, but no matter, it looks good.  The item is packed extremely well.  Cons: It is packed so well that it took me 20 mins to get it out of the box and styrofoam was all over my living room.  After all that, the base is not centered under the lamp.  The jar nearly hangs off the base on one side.  Really disappointing quality control.  The base is brushed nickel which does not match my living room.  It looked more brassy online.  The finial is a giant brushed nickel ball which in my opinion does not complement what is a traditional style lamp.  I ordered two and sadly they are both going back.
