Peach / Amber  fluted lamp base , weighs 4 kilos , 12 flutes of very thick glass , it had a cable attached to an old fitting,  im thinking 1950's / 1960's
8 inches tall x 25 inches in circumference

I don't really know, but it sure does remind me of Leerdam.

or even German WMF? Where are you situated please? (to know could help)

Thanks tigerchips and pamela, im based in the north east of scotland , i normally keep an eye out for scottish glass , but this piece "Felt " that  little bit special , it will look at lot better when i get the dust and grime out of the recesses

Definitely not Leerdam, mounting, colour and treatment point imho at French Deco.

I don't know if WMF did anything like it - didn't they stamp all metal mounts?

The shape looks Italian to me, although the colour doesn't.  The base looks like it could be Italian, I've got a huge lampbase with the same cutting to allow the flex out and another lampbase with a similar flat base shape and ribbing. 

Not conclusive by any means, but maybe worth a try?

Do I see flakes of Mica (silvery) inside the glass or are those bubbles ? Ed.

Reminds me very much of the bases in this earlier topic: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,4048.0.html
