   Another request for identification:   
      
   "Hi Phil, this lamp was in my room when I was a little girl in the early 60's   
   so I know it is at least 50 years old, if not older.  I have always loved it   
   but I know nothing about it.  There's no marking on it anywhere.  When you put   
   a light source behind it you can see through the blue glass dots that are on   
   it.  The flowers look, to me, to be hand painted but I'm not sure if they   
   really are.  In the photos of the bottom (underside) of the lamp, when there   
   is no light behind it, it appears solid blue but if there is light behind it I   
   was able to see the flowers that are on the other side of the base.  The lamp   
   stands about 10" high-I measured from the base to just to the top of the   
   white/blue part and before the spot where the on/off switch mechanism   
   attaches.  The base is 4" wide.  If anyone has any information at all about   
   it, I'd be very appreciative.  Thank you, Tara G.""
