Love this light. Colors in base are vibrant and very close to photo. There was a bump or 2 in the glaze but nothing noticible if you aren't looking for it. The shade is a nice oval shape and the lamp base is not wide, allowing this to fit into slim spaces, onto smaller tables and up against a wall if necessary. But be warned, the shade is a sage or fern green. It does turn tan/beige when the light is on but is definitely green when off.
