Most of these lamps from the period of the later 60's were not signed or even dated. Sometimes you are lucky to find initials and a date. The period of the late 60's to 80's were ripe with these lamps either in plaster or metal. The metalwork was finely done and a lot of the lamps with glass bases had bulbs in them. Most had a metal diffuser with a lot of holes so that the light came out especially wonderful. This period in particular there was a large import/export trade going on in North America and a lot of the better quality came over from Italy !~
