What you have is a Ronces Vase turned into a lamp, art deco, ca 1920s.

Yeah, I guess I'd dump it. (NOT!)

If the vase hadn't been converted to a lamp it would be worth A LOT OF MONEY, multiple $1000s, the blue color is one of the most desirable colors of this vase, but as it's now a lamp, the value drops considerably, to several $100 to maybe if lucky a $1000 or maybe on a good day $2000.

What was it before it was a lamp, can’t I just take that lamp part off?

It was just a vase, for like flowers, etc., it won't make a difference if you take the lamp part off, whoever made it into a lamp already devalued it because they drilled a hole in the bottom of the vase for the lamp cord!

Wow thanks for the info, what a shame

It's not worthless. If you look at the link I posted, you'll see a LOT of them were turned into lamps. Scroll down to the Post Factory Conversions To Lamps From Other R. Lalique Items section--near the bottom.

It’s just sitting around. It’s my moms she said she got it a a thrift store in the middle of the desert. Not sure if she would even sell it.
