We took Lottie to a kids party yesterday and popped into a few charity shops whilst waiting to pick her up.

It is often stated that the shades are Whitefriars glass production but this hasn't been confirmed and is doubted by some.

Unfortunately. She is 14 inches tall (including the base and the hat).

It's brushed metal, brushed steel? I guess. It's heavy so I don't think it could be brushed aluminum.
