eBay Find of the Day: Asian Modern Lamps

Have I maybe mentioned once or twice on this blog how much I love vintage lamps? They're just so ... weird (in an awesome way, of course).

Take this pair of midcentury cast-stone "Asian Modern" Buddha bust lamps, for instance, which measure an impressive 40 inches tall.

Pop a couple of black drum shades on these babies and place them at opposite ends of a console table, and they'll make quite the dramatic statement.

They're a bargain, too -- especially when you consider that a nearly identical set whose auction ends about the same time has already been bid up to more than $150.

Current bid for the pair pictured above: $20.
