Handmade using all repurposed materials. In other words, it's made out of whatever I could find in my various stashes of accumulated stuff that I just can't seem to bring myself to throw away. You don't have to be a partaker of potent potables to enjoy it. I don't drink that stuff myself but the cool factor of the bottle is hard to deny. All 3/4" steel pipe, weighs about 11 lbs. Has rubber feet, won't scratch your table top. Earth mains grounded, commercial internal wire, nice and safe. Uses a small base bulb and someone with slender hands to change it. Oh, for those that do consume the product on the label I must add that I'm sorry, it doesn't dispense liquor. It's just a lamp. Cash and carry only. Thanks for looking!
