    image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg Hello, all.

    This is a 3-light table lamp. The wall plug looks origI also but I think the bulb sockets have been replaced, as one says "Press" and has the UL logo. Plus, the wiring on top looks fairly new.

    The base is more of a classical design. The bottom is completely covered in felt. THe shade is elaborate and is about 22" across at the bottom. There is some very striking r d glass in the white flowers. The workmanship seems very high.

    I have looked all over the shade for a makers mark, but I cannot find one. The pattern looks closest to a Duffner and Kimberly lamp. I read once that D&K lamps have a distinctive acorn-shaped pull, and this does not; but, if these are replacement sockets, then perhaps the pulls are not original, either.

    Thank you, all.

    The sockets are different on top as one has ceramic around it, and there is a little plastic disc that is keeping the chain from going into the socket. So, presumably the pulls are not original. The sockets all seem to say UL.

    Here is a closeup of the plug and bottom. Thank you again.

    Your wiring and plug are definitely newer. That is a pretty common replacement plug from the 60s or so. I think the lamp older.

    My first thought is Miller for the base and I found this lamp attributed to Miller. Note that the stem is the same as yours but the base different. It is possible that yours might not have an original shade/base combination. Miller is more known for slag overlay shades than the leaded glass.

    Consequently, you shade could be Duffner and Kimberly. You might also have a look at the Mosaic Lamp Company (Chicago Mosaic).

    Thank you. This is great advice. Given that I can't find a mark on the shade it very well might be from the Mosaic Lamp Company. I had never heard of Miller, but I agree the base and the shade do not go together. The lamp has been in the family since the 1960s, and it was very expensive at the time.
