NY Good Questions: Similar, Less Expensive Lamp?

6.18lamp.jpg Dear AT,

I've been in love with the Fruiteria Lamp from Anthropologie for many months now, but I cannot possibly justify spending $500 on two lamps with the economy in its current state.

I'm looking for a similar style, the "citrus" colors, and cheaper.

Does it exist?

Thanks! Marina

It's not hard to make a lamp. Hardware stores sell the parts for a few bucks, and you could probably get a glassblower on Etsy to make you custom glass balls (with a hole in either side) for a lot less than $500.

Sorry I misread the post, thought it said the lamps were 500 each. So the options I suggested do not save you much.
