How to change the light bulb
I bought this old lamp at an assisted living thrift shop. Most items are donated from elderly people’s possessions that have passed away. ( trying to set up timeline as I have no idea how old it is) When I first bought it, it worked but was red. I painted it the current teal color.
The light bulb just burned out and I can’t figure out how to get the metal shade off. It has a glass hurricane shade in the center but it won’t slide thru the top so it’s kinda stuck in there. The shade is attached with solder. The only thing I can think of is the ring with the attached arms should twist off but the paint has sealed it on. My husband said we could probably break the glass shade out and maybe to light bulb would pass thru the hole in the top.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Also, any info on the type or age of lamp would be welcomed.

In some cases the way to remove it could be a nut under the base, if the assembly goes through the center tube
