No, Helen's has a shade with straight lower edges. The shade was obtained separately.

Hers is not quite the same (I'd mis-remembered it last night).

It has a toggle switch rather than a press button. When we got it I had to do a lot of work, including re-building the toggle switch as I had nothing which would fit in the limited space available without risk of shorting to the metal work.

I had to fit a standard brass lamp holder and our shade fits with the standard retaining ring. It is a real struggle to fit it too as by fingers are not exactly tiny.
