    Hi All,

    Happy easter! I found this lamp on-line that claims to be antique Italian lamp. Appreciate opinions on if its antique and what you think it could be worth. Thanks!

    I suppose what's considered 'antique', but it's also electrified as from the visible cord! Wait for others to chime in for a better dating on it!!

    I am assuming you are in the US, or you purchased this in US.

    Lamp companies contracted for parts from all over and then would assemble and sell under the lamp company name.

    I think the lamp is 1960s-70s.
    The glass could very well be W. German or American.
    The pottery could be Italian, Japanese or Austrian.

    Any marks or numbers on the base will be for the metal company and may be American.

    Looks mid 20th century to me. Value all depends on where you plan on selling it, if at all, how it is presented and of course condition.

    Antique it is not. It must be someone young describing it, or they do not know what an "antique" is. An antique is recognised as an item over 100 years old. I remember in the 1960's when antique dealers would only call items made before 1837 an antique. They sneered at "victoriana"
