What does a mid century modern lamp look like?

Shapes of The Wild & Wonderful Mid Century Lamps

General characteristics of many MCM lamps:

They may be a two tiered (or) tulip shaped fiberglass parchment
Flying saucer / satellite (Sputnik) shapes
Industrial styling
Starbursts
Jacks shapes (ball & jacks game)
Boomerang & Kidney shapes.

Many times they are adorned in extremely vibrant, bold and contrasting color combinations with wood or metal bases. Exciting, right?
