Hi. I bought this great lamp with a pierced base. It has a cylinder inside that lights up. The sgraffito surface, texture and color are just like a Bitossi Rimini Blu one that was on 1stdibs over the winter. I have found the same lamp twice, once in place olive green and once in beige, on the internet sold on eBay and selling on Etsy, for a reasonable price. If it's not worth much, I'll keep it. I looked up the Underwriter's Laboratories number and did not get anything from that. I will post a photo of the UL label in a comment. Thank you, Julie

If it's Italian it should have Italy written somewhere on the base rim. But if it's unmarked I'm not sure you'd find the maker unless you come across another that's signed. Lamp fittings tend to be imported from other countries so they don't necessarily indicate the country of manufacture of the base.
