Ohh Rose, please forgive me  :ooh: I understood from your Secret Thread that you would only lift it after their arrival; but liked an attribution while they were still on their way to you...
Again, I beg to apologize to my misunderstanding and misinterpret.. :pb:

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

That is Okay -- that is what my Secret was.  I had purchased them, they were on their way here -- was afraid I might jinx myself before they got here IF I said anything at all......so that was why I was MUM in my Secret.  I just got them yesterday, and glad they arrived Safe and Sound.  Nothing Broken !!!

No, I always post my own pics -- whether good, or bad pics.....lol  :24:  :pb:

Thanks Rosie... ;)

Here is a pic of the Plug in, and a Name on the Electrical stuff.  Not sure if that will help at all -- but maybe in dating it.  Oh, and the bottom of the felt pad was torn, so I torn back it a tiny bit more --- but the dust under there  :24: there has to be some Age to these.  Lots of Silver Flecks in the glass too.....

Sorry for using the *D* word here -- but I had to show you this too...... :thud:

Look Murano to me. But I'm keeping the secret about who did them.  :P

Just kidding. I don't know who did them. Maybe Barovier?? They are beautiful. I know you're going to enjoy your lighting a lot more now.

 :hi:

Going by what TxSilver stated (Thanks for the suggestion/direction) -- I did find a similar looking pair, maybe??  No price shown there, and states 1940's era there (??)

Here is the link: http://vandm.com/Barovier_and_Toso_Murano_Glass_Lamps

So what are your thoughts on that?  Thanks

Interesting they don't give a price; as my Mother always said, "If you have to ask, you can't afford it."

LOL!  ;D That's what my mother always said as well, Christine!  :24:

Rose I would say they do look very like the Barovier ones, especially the style of the bases!  :hiclp:   :X:

Thanks all  :kissy: :kissy:

That is the Closest example I have found so far -- but still looking.  To have these - are a Dream Come True for Me.  Never did I imagine I would find any -- less a matched Pair.   Good to here that everyone is leaning towards Barovier  :thup: :thup:

Yes I am still  :chky: , and in LOVE with them!!
