Please Help ID This Return to Oz Green Glass Ornament

So I have some exciting, but ultimately disappointing, news!

I do believe I have managed to identify what the lamp looks like that this gem came from. I found a completed, sold ebay listing for one that looks just dead spot on! However, since this morning, the listing has expired and I cannot confirm the dimensions I read on it. It was sold in the UK.

It was listed as being "maybe French, from the 50s or 60s possibly." The listing title said "Mid Century French Faceted Brass and Faceted Crystal Glass Table Lamp," and I think it was about 15" tall. Literally everything about these gems matches what I seek!

The bad news is:
  1. It sold
  2. It was blue glass
  3. There were absolutely no identifying marks, brand names, or anything to narrow down the search.

My gem height estimate of 3.5" looks to match what we see here. Every facet, angle, and internal marking looks like it will match the screenshots. If ANYONE manages to find one of these for sale using Google magic that I cannot, I would be super grateful if you sent the link my way!
 
Damn, so close and yet so far! I'm almost glad it was a blue lamp, it would've been painful to have seen the perfect green lamp show up in the Sold listings.

I never really thought about it before but since Return to Oz was primarily filmed in the UK you might have the best of luck directing your searches to UK auction sites.

I know. I am super glad it was blue, or else you would have heard my swearing from afar!
