    Description

    Hi everyone!
    I opened a very old box and found a bunch of dollhouse electrical pieces to wire and light up with a 12-volt transformer. In the 80's I think I had an idea to do some lighted miniature scenes, but that never happened.
    But I did get interested when I came across some dollhouse table lamp parts, and so sculpted this fox base for one--my first mini lamp!  If your dollhouse has a 12-volt transformer system to attach the lamp to, it will light up.  Or you could display it without lighting, just hide or cut off the wires coming out of the back of the base.
    This is my own design that was created to be the only of its kind that I'll make.
    To create this I used a tiny lump of ceramic clay to freehand sculp the 2 foxes, the tree trunk, greenery and the base.  Once the sculpture was dry, it was painted and put through two high temperature kiln firings that left it with a permanent glazed finish.  I've signed and dated it on the back, Barbie Sonnett 2021.
    This lamp is wired with a tiny bulb with 2 wires that are threaded down the inside of the tree and out the back. The shade is plastic and is attached to the tree.  The light could be changed by pulling in out through the top.
    Measurements: the base is 11/16" wide and 1/4" deep. Total height from the bottom of the base to the top of the shade is 1 3/4".
    I've been selling my ceramic animal art as a full time profession since 1982, and for the past 21 years exclusively on eBay.

    Thanks for taking a look!
