<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 352532, member: 308&quot;]The history of the Cordey name is rather convoluted and I&#039;m not sure anyone understands it very well.&nbsp; (See Lehrner&#039;s Encyclopedia of U.S. Marks on Pottery, Porcelain, &amp; Clay).&nbsp; And the products of the companies using the Cordey name are not well documented.&nbsp; As a result, unless it&#039;s marked Cordey I don&#039;t think you&#039;ll ever get a firm answer.&nbsp; As cluttered noted, it is in the style referred to as Cordey and that may be the closest you can get to a firm attribution.&nbsp; Even stickers aren&#039;t totally reliable as anyone can get a roll of them printed up.&nbsp; Just ask the glass people.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would guess if you went back to the auctioneer and asked him/her how they know the lamp is by Cordey they would say because they&#039;ve seen other lamps sold with that attribution.&nbsp; Not the best of worlds but when documentation is lacking sometimes &quot;in the style of&quot; is the best anyone could do. I&#039;m not usually a fan of Cordey style lamps.&nbsp; To me they are a little gaudy.&nbsp; But your lamp has a very classic shape and the applied florals don&#039;t overwhelm.&nbsp; I think it&#039;s quite lovely.&nbsp; </p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
