The hand blown glass has that burnt orange favrille iridescence that Durand is known for. As you look as the close-up photographs you can see the 6-footed, bronzed base fits perfect as does the small 2 ¾ diameter cap at the top of the glass. When we took the base off we saw the polished hole at the bottom that splits the Durand name in half. You can also see the date, 1910 is split on either side of the hole.
The design, the fittings, and the finished hole all lead me to believe and guarantee that this was always a Durand Art Glass Lamp. I tried to find another example on the net, but I could not find another lamp or anything else with this unique shape. You can see that the sockets were replaced and the wiring definitely needs replacing.
