The "style" of the base is done is that of the 30's to 40's.  Sure doesn't look like Cinderella to me.

You might want to take at Sandizell Porcelain!  Yours is in the STYLE of it.  However, you must be able to see the porcelain marks in order to know if yours is Sandizell Porcelain.

Note of caution...there are so many repros of porcelain out there...you would need to see the marks.

Where did you reat grandfather get this from?  History?  Some people did have their nice pieces mounted on lamps when they becamse popular like this.
