<p><br/>Just my opinion on it: don't try to filter it, or change it - if it flows, keep it as it is and count yourself lucky! Your sister is awesome.</p>

<p>There are no markings whatsoever on the lamp, base or the cap. The base has three, flathead screws that hold the bottom plate of the base to the hourglass form. The globe itself, when I wrap my finger around the middle of it, seems flat on two sides, giving the impression that its an oval when you look at it from the top.</p>

<p>I lean more toward it being Australian, or Chinese/Taiwanese for the UK or Australian market. It just doesn't have enough Hunter similarities to me. Hunter always used the same bottle, and this one's taper starts too high.</p>
<p>Hunter also didn't, as far as I know, do brass. They did a very orange copper and, rarely, silver. If it IS a Hunter, the base's inner workings are set-up very differently.</p>
