This uranium glass lamp was purchased in a antique store. I not sure if the lamp is associated with any certain depression glass pattern. It has a honeycomb style design. If anyone could help identify this lamp it would be appreciated.
This looks like Vaseline glass which is yellow with a green tinge. Is that lamp shade fiberglass? That would be a plus. I would not count on finding much information on this. Looks to be an excellent vintage piece
generally speaking this is often called a candlestick lamp. did find a pair in amber bt no idea on maker:

and another in green; but I think the foot may differ:

I also have one, it is a warm light amber, not greenish, the glass very translucent, apparently crystal and very tall and slender. The socket appears to be original and for an European chandelier bulb size which together with its overall style and scarcity makes me think its European. I have researched it extensively and found no other examples except the one shown here. I would also like to know who made it and when.
It may be by Rainaud or Ouraline glass, there are a couple of similar designs on Pinterest under uranium glass lamps.
Having looked further ouraline is just a French trade name for uranium glass, but I'm sure your lamp is French.
Change of mind, most of these I've seen are in America so possibly American made.
