I added the lamp to the glass base of the lady in the tub, and photo edited this in the silver Camera mode.
It is about 5.75 inches (15Cm) long and is made of frosted glass.
I know nothing of its origins, but I would say that this is of The Art Deco genre.
If anyone could add anything re: this item, I would appreciate the input very much.....thanks!
looks like Hoffmann's but there have been reproductions:

Beautiful lamp, the lady sculpture is gorgeous
The delicate beautiful lady and her glass tub don't seem to go with the utilitarian modern day light socket which looks crude in comparison to the rest of the piece. And something about an electric light in the tub of "water" is just cringe-worthy to my senses, even though I know it's not real.
If the lady could speak, her message might be, "I was enjoying my bath till somebody turned this bright light on in my face!"
Just my humble thoughts...
It's like if she is looking at the moon.
