A New York Post feature notes a revival of lanterns once favored by travelers, now produced in Birmingham and New York. Machine made imitations outshine hand crafted originals in durability, though lack the inlaid work. Lantern shapes range from cylinders to spheres and mosques, often bronze with silver or colored glass.
