    I just got this in the mail today, I love how strange it looks. These caged pieces are rare to find but this one is unique and probably top ten in my collection. To start with, the dimensions are 11"X7" - it is heavy. The glass piece is 4-layers thick and bulges out in a very organic shape that seems to be twisting. The metal is very thick and seems to be a combination iron and other metals, I tried to bend a point on the base that sticks out (would catch on a sweater) and it is impossible to bend.
    The base has an arched Czechoslovakia mark. This piece was not mass produced and is finished with a tar-paint to preserve the metal (like railroad ties are soaked in)

      that's very cool. I'd leave it alone. you can never undo cleaning it up. I'd wait and see if another comes along and see what that one looks like. (another always comes along)

      The French cages can be pretty crazy and maybe this was an attempt to compete
