Thanks guys. As I said, I wasn't sure how it would react with the lamp metal. I know it works well with brass and steel. The base looks to be pressed and stamped steel looking at the rolled edge base and cutouts. I would look at the ease of disassembling to clean each different material involved. Let's not forget that quartz (I'm hoping) embellishment between the two. If it is stone GOJO and 0000 steel wool should clean it up nicely without scratching. If it wont come apart easily, do the best you can. Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
