Would like info. this lovely glass or crystal lamp with down turned pedal shaped shade. Was told by antique seller that it is from France but there are no markings. Only info I can find on lamp is number 6143 cast into bottom of brass base.
interesting lamp... deconstructing - it appears to be made from a vase for the base and a bowl for the shade (each upside-down). There's possibly a better chance to ID the vase and bowl rather than the lamp as a whole. The numbers are only related to the electrical parts which could have been used on may different lamps. Quite often these jobber type creations are difficult to ID.
Yours is very stunning
Wonder IF the Glass bowl // Vase is VANNES FRANCE pieces? Just check, maybe Vannes made Glass lamps.......???

Great sleuthing too T-Cakes. So I was on the Right wave of thinking -- Guess we both solved the mystery.
High fives to you also !! Great Work too !! BINGO.....LOL
Thanks for all the quick answers. My lamp is definately a Vannes. The base is identical to the Vannes LE Chatel French Art glass lamp that Antiquerose posted and shade is identical to the image TallCakes posted plus vase body is very similar to the Midcentury French Crystal lamp except that my lamp is 22 inches high.
Always nice when the mystery is solved....So Happy for you !!!
Now you can find yourself a Pair.......LOL.....as it would be worth it !!
