I got this lamp from an auction that called it a J.B. Hirsch Lamp. I was tryingt o researching and couldn't seem to find this lamp anywhere. It is marked 662 at the bottom as well as a name that I can't seem to make out. I was hoping someone could help me figure out if it is actually a Hirsch Lamp!! Thanks so much!
Danseuse Des Indies by Ignacio Gallo.
Please see my write up on these items by Hirsch Foundry, originally made in 1927 but have not seen them until the JB Hirsch foundry in NYC started making them after the second world war from the original moulds. Yours has an alabaster base which lets the light through. The cord looks original from what I can see.

Approx 1947 t0 1948.
The 662 is likely a base # which they often put on the alabaster and marble they used.
Thank you so much! Have you seen this particular model before?
