I had an unfortunate incident that broke a sentimental vintage quilted glass lamp. I'm trying to think of ideas where it could be upcycled into something nice but I'm unsure how this would look as a mosaic where the glass is so curved. Any ideas?
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share my absolute favorite find of the year. I spotted this beautiful mid-century cherub mini lamp at a local thrift store today for only $20 and couldn't leave without it.
Upon inspection, I turned the base over and verified the authentic raised "L&L WMC" factory lettering along with the mold number "8551" sharply stamped into the rim. The raw, unpainted casting on the interior of the base is a heavy, bright silver white-metal/pot metal, while the exterior holds its gorgeous original antiqued bronze patina finish. The base alone weighs in at a hefty 43 ounces!
The real miracle here is the frosted pink hobnail-textured glass shade. There isn’t a single scratch inside or out, and every single strand of the delicate pink and white glass beaded fringe appears to be fully intact and original—no snapped wires or loose ends.
I just finished giving the shade a very careful wipe-down using a highly diluted mixture of warm water and organic plant-based Castile soap, dried it immediately with a clean microfiber cloth, and popped a low-heat LED candelabra bulb inside. The warm, diffused glow coming through the frosted pink glass is simply stunning.
I do think that it might be missing a small piece around the shade and harp attach.
Has two pull chains with separate bulb. Four fake candelabra posts, glass prisms, quite heavy as well. She’s a really 😍gorgeous lamp but cannot locate any markings or info online. Only lamp found online like it was from the 70’s but no pricing. Any ideas? TIA
don’t mind if this is a silly question.. i thrifted this clown lamp and i loooove it but im not sure where i am supposed to put a lamp shade on here?
I have a lamp that is a family heirloom and it does not have a shade that fits. The current shade just balances on top and falls off sometimes and i can’t stand it. How do i find a shade that will fit it? It seems to be missing a piece. Thank you.
Of course I didn't make it entirely by hand. How on earth would I be able to do that? The switch to turn the lamp on/off is on the back of the "statue" (lamp). Hope you like my creation! Oh I'm not selling any I only have one. Font used for name is Inter if you want to use that font for whatever reason 😄 🎉
Jeg har afmonteret den hvide boks men der er intet lys. Hvad tror i kan gå galt?
Tusind tak
This is a photo of a unique lamp I saw in a restaurant. A photo definitely saves me a very wordy description. ☺️
Hi, I recently purchased this vintage rocket lamp. The plug tells me it was made between 1970 and 1984.
The only similar lamp I can find is the Sasparilla Co of NYC rocket lamp.
The one I’ve purchased doesn’t have any makers marks at all, and has a UK plug.
Anyone have idea of the value?
Thank you! 🚀
I’ve included a listing for a similar lamp.
Was working on this project for almost two years now, process was very difficult as I aimed for perfect surface for these lamps!
I acquired this lamp awhile ago and am not sure what it is. I’m looking to gain some info about it and possibly sell it. Anyone have any ideas regarding this lamp? Thank you!
Wondering if people feel okay having high end hand made glass diffusers for table lamps or of it feels too precarious for normal use.
