Cream ceramic table lamp with brass base
Description
Lost item in Furniture & Decor category. I’m hoping to find my cream ceramic table lamp with a brass base. It’s about 18 inches tall, with an off-white lampshade that has a tiny navy blue stripe near the top and a small blue star sticker on the seam. The base has a bit of patina and a small dent on one side, and the cord is a little frayed near the plug. I last saw it yesterday around 3pm in the parking lot behind the Patee House Museum on 4th Street in St. Joseph, near the sidewalk cafe. This lamp was a gift from my grandmother and it means a lot to me; I’d really appreciate getting it back if anyone happened to find it.

Keep communication on lostandfound.io
