Beautiful shot - I love the bright colors and sharply detailed designs on the lamps!

What a wonderful shot Helen! The multitude of lights, and their colors, are simply gorgeous. So sharp and clear; just perfectly captured!

WOW! What a variety of colors and shapes, Helen. Nice find, indeed!

Thanks for the link & info, Helen. If I still lived in Manhattan, I'd be tempted to import them. I haven't been to ABC Home lately but wouldn't be surprised if they bring them in. LC Tiffany eat your heart out! jp

I'm so happy you like it, Inframan! They have gotten into these lights in a very big way here -- the covered bazaar is full of them, and this display is one of the most colorful I've found (can't find it again, unfortunately). The first I saw of them was several years ago at a hotel we stayed at occasionally -- I was fascinated. Not a great picture, but here they arehttp://www.pbase.com/helenpb/image/29591072 Maybe you should come to Istanbul on a shopping trip, but be sure to bring an extra suitcase! Helen

Oh my gawd...incredible, beautiful. My favorite collectibles & furnishings are rugs & lamps. Maybe I should move to Turkey. Are they all glass? A great big WOW!!!
