Well dare i say i have exactly the same lampbase had it about ten years , if anyone wants to see and handle it i will bring it to the National at Birmingham next month , i believe its Mica or what i have always thought was mica . Its in the Attic.... Rosie told me not to call it the loft ? and she scares me .

But that's not WMF - or Monart.
That combed vase with the yellow and grey and blue and mica is also the unknown "Bohemian" maker of these lamps.

Sue, I should have clarified that -  the advert says it isn't WMF, but that it is Czech.
It is the same decor as the lamps and I thought it might be the same decor as the bowl that Pinkspoons had.
I was just adding it, just in case in the future someone comes across the vase shape and decor with a named label.

I don't think it's the same maker as the bowls, m. (Just personal opinion)
I've had a vase (exactly) the same as the non-WMF one in your last link, and I know it's the "unknown" Czech maker. (I gave it to D&D)

ok, I've now removed the bowl link on my post so it doesn't muddy the waters

I thought best to take them off.  You and I know which bowls we were talking about

Another of the lamps.

The size of the neck and the resulting wide fitting is a feature on these lamps, the metal on this one is a bit thin and not that sturdy - maybe helping to lead to Frank's observation that he kept seeing them without fittings.

Nigel mentioned an oval label.

There is a lamp with what looks like the same fitting and an oval label in Reviews on Glass Nº 2, navigate to page 18 here:

Bit of a stretch to say these lamps are also made by ČMS Krásno, just throwing out the possibility.

mica used in a vase here in this link - left hand photograph

Ernst Steinwald I think for that photograph.

Just adding this just in case it becomes relevant later.  I have a lamp with the graduated colour and  feathered pattern on it but no mica in it and thought it might have been Steinwald, but now seems to be ? Kralik again.
