KTG, You point out something I should have mentioned in the post: the lamps you see here are on exhibit at Olive & Gourmando's and are indeed for sale. For purchasing info, contact Geneviève Oligny at 819.327.5485.
The last lantern looks like the uh... backend of an elephant with a REAL giant... uhhh... ewwwww.
