Lighted Gem: Stained Glass Lamp painting and as shown the colorThis magical little faceted multicolored lantern looks different from every angle. I selected and hand cut 12 different colored pieces of art glass, then foiled and soldered them and finished the seams with a pewter patina. To illuminate it, fill it with a string of 20 Christmas lights. There's an opening in the back for the cord to run through, so your lantern will sit flat on any surface you choose to display it on. 7"h x 5"w.
