The teacup lamp

At a garage sale you have found the odd lamp in the picture. Your aunt collects unusual lamps. Call her, describe this one so she can picture it, and tell her whether you think she should buy it.

A switched-on lamp made of two flowered teacups on saucers, with a glowing bulb under a teapot that serves as the shade, beside a picture frame, a jug and a teddy bear.
