Any info on this lamp I got on ebay?

I bought this table lamp on ebay (more than my ususal lamp budget). It's modern look really appealed to me and the fact that it's eyes and mouth glow with a hidden fixture is pretty zazz. I plan on fixing up the shade too.
If anyone knows about it, I'd like any extra info. Thanks
These pics were taken from the listing. I'll take more when I get the lamp.

Pretty cool lamp. It looks very similar to the Strikow Decanter made for Kahlua. Check it out:

Looks a lot like the Strikow decanters, BOT 186. Also looks a bit like that thing at the end of "Signs", now that was a good movie.

Creepy, the movie, not the lamp. Ok, the lamp is a bit creepy too.

Hey Pop, we think alike, and in symbiosis. Creepy, but in a good way!

How can you say that happy smiling tiki is creepy? Here's a couple more pics from the listing showing back/side detail.

As an artifact, I like the creepy lamp.It would look nice in a darkened tiki bar.
Would I want it next to my bed? NO WAY!

If I woke up one night and saw that form with those big yellow eyes, I would freak!

But nice find. Wish we knew more about it's origin. (It does kinda resemble that 'Signs' alien, doesnt it?)

That has got to be the Zazziest lamp EVER! I wish I had one of those....

Congrats on the score!
