This wonderful Alabaster Inverted bowl would be a great light for a library, bedroom, foyer
as well as other rooms in your home. The natural cream veining would make a great compliment to natural
woodwork shelving and multicolor of old book jackets. Antique alabaster fixtures feature bold veining
as opposed to new alabaster fixtures which tend to be white with no veins. It is a style difference.
New alabaster fixtures are probably thought to go well in contemporary settings and are therefore
paired down to a large extent.
Probably the need for a large quantity product line means that the manufacturer must reach the
lowest common denominator which would be white with little variation. I think the approach was the
opposite with these old bowls where individual character was desired.
