Good afternoon everyone. I won an auction on a lamp and as you can see it arrived pretty much destroyed. What kind of lamp is it and is it worth trying to repair? Please help!

Thanks to all who looked and loved! I am so disappointed in how it arrived! I appreciate you all!
welzebub...have you seen a lamp like this before?
I have, and they are kind of cool when restored. Do you have all of the painted glass panels for the base?
I don't think I have ever known the exact name for these.
I won this in an online auction and it was all together and no notable issues. What you see in the pictures is after I received the package and unpacked it. The 3rd glass panel was destroyed along with the other damage in the photos. I am working with the site I bought it from to see what they are willing to do. I wished I had never won it because if I had not it might still be in one piece.
They should refund it completely. Without the third panel, it is impossible to restore to anything reasonable. It is a shame.
I am hopeful that they will do the right thing. If they let me keep it then I am going to work on getting it back together and I figured I could turn the lamp around with the missing panel. The glass tulip/flower is open on the top. Would they have put something in it?
flowers if it is sealed and hllds water... dried flowers otherwise I think.
It is a solid piece of glass. We shall see what happens with it all. I am very happy that you reached out and that we got connected. I appreciate you!
