    Hi,
    All lamps are approx. 45-50cm high, include the original wick and base.
    The green lamp's glass is showing a bit of white frosting (ever since I put it in the dishwasher).
    I bought them at an antique store approx. 25 years ago.
    They all work.
    I think the clear ones are 1930's art deco.
    They have original brass fittings.
    That's about it.
    Would love to know more. I use them a lot.

      The first one (green) is Satin Glass and has a GREEK KEY pattern on the shoulder. I can't see the collar too well so dating is more difficult. If it is the lamp I am thinking of, the date would be early 1900's. The second one is from Hong Kong (S.E. Asia) and is very recent. The third one is possibly (can't see the main body of it) a "Petal" pattern lamp....again the collar is difficult to see but looks like an English/European collar on a plain US lamp of the 1930-40's. Not Art Deco in style but from the late Deco period. RER

      They're beauties barrjen. I love the green one, it looks like its uranium glass. Great info RER :)
