Topic: Daum Fairy Lamp

[mrop]

I saw the first lamp, or at least a similar lamp, in the late 1970s, early 80s at the owner's home. It was purchased from Agnes Koehn Antiques from an ad in the Antique Trader. The winter scene cameo was certainly Daum, the only question being the triple bevel on the top of shade, and if the shade has been ground down. The base matched the lid. Canadian fairy lamp collector Doug Gole tracked the lamp to the new owner's home and spent years trying to obtain it. At the time it was the only one he knew. When the owner's died it was sold to Gole in the late 1980s. I vaguely remember a larger cross of Lorraine mark. The Koehns were high end importers of Art Glass and sold many lamps. I believe they were from Iowa.

Thank you for the information.  I have tried to keep track of where Doug's fairy lamp collection went to, but I do not have a record who purchased the Daum lamp.  I suspect, however, it may have been given/sold to a close family friend and would not be too difficult to track down.   But, there is no need to satisfy my curiosity with the effort.
