Unknown maker large glass lamp base. ID = WMF - 'IKORA' range
« on: September 08, 2014, 07:51:56 PM »
Hi All,
I have this lovely piece of glass and am seeking the following information:
Designer/Maker.
Age.
How would lamp look complete?
Would the shade have been glass?
The glass base measures 27 cm high.
The overall width is 19 cm.
The base diameter is 13.5 cm
The fittings are interesting, the top section slides up and down.there is a threaded hole at the end on top.
There is also a bulb with fittings and some old wiring fitted within the glass base.
Condition of base is 100% with no cracks,scratches or chips, there is a bubble on the base edge.
I have no idea how to get inside,I guess the central section comes out but how?
I would love to get this fully working/restored, when you shine a light through the base the paternation is amazing!
I guess this piece is Scottish,1930's and would have had a similar patterned glass shade of an onion shape held in place by a framework  suspended from the top?
Any information is appreciated, Thanks for your time.
Chris.
Also a SEIKO collector :-)

Hello Chris, welcome to GMB!

Your beautiful lamp certainly was made by WMF - 'IKORA' range

I suggest to contact my friend Jan Kilian for information and assistance, good luck!

edited to add:
Shades were mainly silk - see pattern books here: http://www.glaskilian.de/ib/content.htm  :)

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)
