Glass ID: lamp
Hello,
I've looked through your catalogs and cannot see something that exactly matches
a lamp I just purchased at an auction. It's very large - 47 inches from base to
top of the finial. Shade is 20 inches across by 15 inches high and I believe is
original to the lamp. I've uploaded some photos to this address:https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A8532ODWBUheu
I'd appreciate any help you could offer. It's an extraordinary lamp and I'd love
to know more about it.
Thank you,
H

Hello,
most Blenko lamps were made from regular catalog pieces that were converted. This lamp looks to be made from a 6535 piece.

I own 10 lamps
none of the ten are in the catalogs
They were made after 69 and
made of blenko vases - from the line.
Not unusual to find a lamp not
listed in catalog
G.
there are several lamps in 1954-56 catalogs.
thanks
South Charleston Antique Mall has this lamp for $ 175 on 2nd floor
needs to be rewired.
A few months ago V put up all the Blenko catalogs on the www.blenkoproject.org web pages
you can search these and you will always find your blenko.
I have now labeled over 300 pieces of my collection using this web site.
We all owe V a large debt. Thank you V.

Hello Alicia Miller,
Thanks a lot for the kind words. If you can send some pictures of your collection, I can post them online.

Glassdoc you overdosed on the Grapefruit juice this is a duplicate post.
Now for more serious issues: Photos from the Warehouse Sale? Can you go or ask Blenko for some photos?
