Featured Lamp...pottery... brass metal....It's likely nothing......but...

Please take a look anyways.....

Some of the overlay metal is broken off....likely strong arm cleaning lady who never cared cuz it wasn't her stuff...
I doubt taking it apart would reveal much....
There's a couple of smalllll marks under the base..but ??
Oh...& I have a pair...

All comments welcomed...!!!!!!!

 

Very pretty. That's all I got.

 

I like the little dragon feet.....but I don't see how it matches the lamp.....
that's all I got !!

 

A few ideas. I would like to see the entire piece including shade (is there a finial?) Also, if not re-wired, sometimes the plug can help with dating so include a photo of the plug as well.

I would say this is a high quality lamp. The metal work is really gorgeous, and excellent that you have a pair.

 

I agree with Lucille, this lamp has quality and is a bonus to have a pair.

 

Are we sure these arent glass? I agree with very pretty .

 

No....we are not sure........it's one of those things I took for granted......maybe the weight of the brass.....got me turned around....

 

reminds me of a few Russian vases I had in the past. But decoration and stand is more French?

 

Looks like glass to me as well.

 

I'll ditto that!!

VERY pretty & GREAT pics!!!

 

Looks French porcelain to me, exquisite.

 

that's what I thought.....but you guys and gals are so good that i'm easily swayed when out of my comfort zone..!

I'll confirm it's true nature this weekend !

 

Lucille...here's what you asked for ...but...no finial...and it was likely rewired....but a long time ago.....

Oh....& the lamps do indeed seem to be glass.....& wouldn't metal on glass seem to be a good fit...

 

That looks like a finial to me, with handmade silk shades.
Someone loved those lamps! I do too.

 

I thought a finial had to be more ornate than just a brass screw on knob....

They seem to be overkill with this kind of lamp.

They are not my taste but folks did indeed value them......
( could have been Mom who sought out those shades )

 

Yeah, I thought they were glass. Forget-me-not flowers? Shades are rather large, but I can see someone wanting a pretty pair for a bedroom. Getting a 1950s/60s vibe for date.

 

they were on the folks night tables......good guess !!!
