Old combed lattice herringbone lamp - green white feathering amber foot
dirk.:
I´ve twice seen this decor attributed to Glashütte Schliersee, but neither do I know the source nor
do I feel able to judge about the reputability of this attribution. :-\

Hi M forget the contemporary guys,,, its well before they were born . obviously by the fittings alone its got to be pre 1950 also the shape and technique screams very early 20th century . imho . jp

Sue thanks :) I've checked all my art deco spatter glass pieces and my Franz Welz vases with yellow in them and they glow orange. None of my 'later' amber or yellow pieces do apart from that massive (Empoli?) yellow vase. And nearly the whole lamp glows orange but with a bright orange at the base and it getting fainter towards the neck, so I feel convinced it has an amber overlaid on it.
Dirk, that is close, very very close. Ironically I had just started looking at WMF just in case. Even the finish on the glass surface looks similar where, whilst it is completely smooth to touch, if you hold it to the light you can see faint striations in the glass - I think one of my close up pictures might show this somewhat. Also the teeny bubbles the texture of the glass inside, it does look very much the same. Thank you. I willl investigate further.
JP thank you :) I will keep looking, but much earlier than I had been. I do feel it is earlier than the 50's as well.

;) Are you managing to contain yourself after seeing Dirk's link? ;D
That does look like a very promising direction indeed.

By saying early 20th century i was thinking 20/30s . jp
