Old combed lattice herringbone lamp - green white feathering amber foot

This one's herringbone bit appears to be a reddy/brown colour.... enamel?

I know you get "blue" asbestos and "grey" asbestos, but I'm not sure that's not just a name different types are given - one is far more dangerous than the other.

Is there any fabric which would be heat resistant and reddy-brown? (sorry for the lousy pics from abernyte, phone camera)

Lustrousstone:
Don't think so. I think asbestos fabric is only white. I think you need to handle these to be sure whether they use fabric. Whatever Miranda's is combed

chopin-liszt:
 :) It is.
More of a red herring than herringbone.  ::)

I took some close pictures - the foot is applied but perhaps the amber was reflection? I can't see how it might be partly cased up the base but perhaps so?
The hole for the wire shows the three layers and the thickness of the glass I hope.
The base pic is very clear and makes it look odd in finish, but it is very smooth, just showing the striations and dimpling in the middle more clearly.
And taking a close pic of the enamel combing shows that I think the enamels were done with two colours, pinky mixed with white. I think.

chopin-liszt:
Could the foot be an integral part of the main body, but with dense enamel colour on the outside.... all beautifully marvered in to be smooth, of course.
I'd agree, it looks as if both pink and white striations are in the mesh.   
My guts are feeling this may be French. (But my guts are frequently all over the place! :-X)

However, your glassy-guts have been very Francophillic recently, Flying-free... :)
