    We found this going through a storage unit for the family. It is a very heavy lamp. Any idea the time period or other details? Any information is greatly appreciated!

      You are posting small pictures that are ruining my neck turning it to try to see the photos. It is easy to edit the post and put some decent pictures up. Try to upload on a real computer not your phone as everything is sideways. I used to buy these quite a bit in the eighties.

      How do you rotate the pictures in the post? I posted from my desktop and the pictures were normal rotation. This is my first time posting, so I apologize for the lack of knowledge with this site/process.
    3. PhilDMorris PhilDMorris, 6 years ago
      I see you fixed the rotation. Good one. A lot of these were made in the 1920's to about 1930. This one of yours is made of Alabaster, they really never used marble in the manufacture of these, although a lot of people think Alabaster is marble. Alabaster was perfect for these, since alabaster will let light through whereas marble will not. Great lamps you have.

      Thank you for the information! I thought it was marble at first too. Appreciate the insight.
