Featured Mid-Century-Mushroom/Atomic-Glass Fixture-Torciere?? Hanging??..Type??

I bought this at an estate sale a few years ago..They had lots of MCM items...I liked it & made the purchase...Still do not know if it was originally designed for a Ceiling hanger or Torchiere??...Any help appreciated.

 

So assuming it is hollow? Interesting!

 

Yes,it is hollow and has three 1/4" holes in the neck.

 

Size? Are there any dead flies or gnats in it? Don’t laugh, these are serious questions which must be answered.

 

What the heck is the diameter????? Are those office chair legs behind it???

 

Springfield....No flies or gnats.....Its clean inside.It is appx 15" Across the top...Neck opening is 4" & it is 8" high.

Aquitaine...Legs are on a Plycraft lounger..(My favorite chair)

 

I think this was a hanging fixture and I get a 90s or later vibe from it.

 

Are there any light, circular scratches around the 2 holes?

 

Yes,the holes have lite scratches on the inside of the glass.

 

Hi,
Looks like a 1960s torchiere. Mushroom shade would be wonderful. How wide is it? Wonderful color.

Scratches seem to be from screws used to hold it in place, as a shade. Torchiere make the most sense.

 

Torchiere shades don't have holes. Think this makes it a hanging shade.

 

I defer to @verybrad - I thought they still had them to stabilize.

Hi Brad,
Good call. I just looked at my torchiere and it has three knobs that screw into my shade and is just held in at the rim of the glass shade.

At 1st glance...it looks like 36 inches across....not knowing how wide your floor boards are....

I thought it was a spaceship...

 

Komo...It does have a Mushroom..Spaceship..WOW factor!! (Too Me)...Now,that it determined this is not a Torchiere...Can anyone help with the Origin or Type of Glass??
