    Found this lamp thrown out.
    It's 50x30cm and made of stained glass.

    The glass is rough on the back, which normally signals old glass sheets.
    It has some smaller damages, but can be fixed.

    As you can see on the pictures, it's really dirty (I tried to clean some small areas, that you clearly can see)

    Does anyone have information on this lamp? Age, history and maybe a price range.
    It's located in Greece.

      Looks like it hung over a pool table in a smoky room. Looks like around 1970's era to me . Don't be afraid to clean it . I have antique slag glass lamps that I put whole shade in bath tub to clean it is easier than one panel at a time . Put a towel on bottom of tub for it to sit on. Yours would look good in a recreation room but it is not a authorized Coca Cola lamp as far as I know . It was a fantasy piece .

      Hey Manikin.

      Thank you very much for your answer.. We been scratching our heads all those days. Cant find nothing about it. Im told, its just made to look old. Resent date. Im sure its not correct. A fantasy piece, sounds more like it, of older date.
      I cleaned it yesterday. Not totally finished yet.. But it looks so much better now. But god, it was nasty.
      Wish I could add more pictures of it, now when its (almost) cleaned.

      Sorry, I mean, I been told other places, its a new piece, made to look old.. Which I dont believe.. It is old.

      This shade looks very well done, and looks to me to be '50's era, judging by the lead caning used.
      This would likely have been given to a regional top sales establishment or top seller in an area, similar to the stained glass window I have from the same era.

      Here in Canada in the "80's , a stained glass lampshade was again a common item to receive from the company if you were a top area location for sales.
      Post again once it has been cleaned.
      Cheers

      Btw, the Canadian lampshades are all marked inside .
      The link I posted shows mine hanging over the fooseball.
      I swapped the chain for a rod though.

      Agree with manikin-- probably 1970s, maybe a little later.

      Also it is pure FANTASY-- not authorized or distributed by Coca Cola.

      I have worked with glass and glass panels, and it's not 70s or later. Then someone found some old glass, sat down and used +2 weeks on making it, when the market at that time, already had lamps like that. Dosen't make any sence at all!

      more pictures, after its been almost cleaned... https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/238142-coca-cola-lamp2

      pickrknows: The lamp is very well made. Im not a collector, know nothing about coca cola (except how to drink it). But do have a thing for old stuff. And its kind of growing on me.

      For the lamps given out for top sellers. I just wonder why we cant find a lamp which looks the same. Or at least almost the same.
