I ordered the clear glass, it's large enough to really make a statement, it's amazing with my white slipcovers and casual look. The rope detail is authentic looking, and the glass is beautifully seeded, nothing cheap looking about it, and it has a cork stopper at the top of the glass that can be opened and things put inside, I rolled up vintage music sheets and tied them with ribbon and they are so cool inside, I LOVE this lamp!!!
