I bought this lovely glass boudoir lamp at auction about 2 years ago. It's about 16" talland holds a single standard bulb. As you can (hopefully) see, the painting is quite detailed. I have searched high and low, and can'ty find another like it. Can anyone provide any info at all?
Thanks, Scotty
I think this is a Czech lamp. Let's see what the others say! I think it's great !!!!
I think you need a copy of "Collectible Bohemian Glass 1915-1945" by Robert & Devborah Truitt .... pages 109, 110-11.
Lamps like these are shown there by two different makers: Palda and Rückl from 1935.
Triangular shades like this one are shown n page 111 of the Rückl catalogue.

Thank You so very much, Vetraio! Exactly the info I was seeking! And you are right, I absolutely need to get a copy of the Truitt book. I have it on my wishlist on Amazon. Gotta sell some stuff first. I have an interesting Pairpoint lamp that I know nothing about as well, and I lack the funds for Pairpoint, Handek, Bradley & Hubbard, etc. research books as well. I'll put up so,e pics of it as wekk, and hopefully I'll jet it listed this afternoon.
Peace, Scotty
If you don't want to, or can't, spend the cash for books like this, they are often referenced in libraries, I sometimes go for a specialized single piece, and take pictures of the page where the item is presented, plus any additional information I may need. :)
TY, Katherine. My local library doesn't have that particular book. I'll have to search out which library nearest to me at which I have borrowing pyiveleges has it. I posted a pic of a pair of Moser vases I have, which are shown in the book "Moser Ast Glass: The Klabin Collection". That book is running around $400, so I did a search and found a copy at the U of Georgia. I'll see if they have the Truitt book.
Peace out - Scott
Oh my......Gorgeous !!
