Question
I have a lamp I have searched everywhere to learn about it I can not find anything close to it in beauty.  It is three dimensional with 8 glass panels that are bent. It is shaped like an umbrella.  It has hills, trees, water, boats, roads,the sky, a house, clouds, maybe more. Can you help me find out about my lamp? I can send a picture.  I know it is more than 50 years old. Thanks, Debbie

In the UK it has been a long, hot day. At the end of which I receive from you a question that is wholly irrelevant to my specialism, asking me to give up my volunteered time to answer a stupid question from a cretin who cannot read the notes I provide to prevent people like you asking stupid questions and wasting my time.
