This is an attractive piece of vintage Scottish glassware.
This is a vintage tulip lamp - I currently have another three in my shop - of different colours - these brighter lamp colours are harder to find and much sought after - so if you would like one... don't hold back... so when they are gone - they are gone!
This is a fine hand-made glass tulip table lamp - which was made between 1946 and 1963 at Vasart.
I just love the colours of this one - these lamps with darker blue shades are much harder to find. The quality and more unsual colours in this one - is reflected in a slightly higher price being attached to it. You won't find one so nice very easily.
The lamp is made from one piece of blown glass and gets its name as it is shaped like the flower on a tulip. The colours on this one are very attractive and more unusual. The main base colour is a rich blue-lilac shade - which graduates into a much darker blue shade towards the crown - there are whorls of the two colours of glass around the middle - and this area is peppered with tutti frutti specks of glass.
The glass body of tulip lamp is made of more opaque glass.
The lamp has a circular pedestal base - with a little blown lifted bridge on the foot to allow the cable to run neatly underneath and to the bulb holder and bulb inside. This bridge was created in the making process and it is not ground out channel underneath as you might find on later 1980s versions of these tulip lamps.
This lamp is wired and with its original white plastic finger switch to allow you to switch on and off easily. This is nice and clean and in good condition - the lamp has been re-wired though to make sure that it is safe for modern electric supplies.
It is certainly pretty when all lit up, as photographed.
A nice accent piece to cast a subtle warm glow in a sitting room, dark corner or even a hallway.
The lamp is just under 10 inches in height - and has a diameter of the base is just over 5 1/2 inches. Unpacked it weights 1.7 kg.
Of course, it is in good original vintage condition - with no damages or restorations.
Probably for posting in the UK only.
