Lamp Identification PLEASE
John Smith:
.. Thanks very much Ken, for your valued guidance. I shall keep that in mind. ;)
John Smith:
I'd like to thank all of those who are helping me with this post and those who already have, with thoughtful opinions and proper guidance.
I have just today, located a very tiny moulded mark, bottom left of the base. M MODEL FRANCE I know little of this maker, however I "THINK" Maurice Model produced figurines/mascots (and lamps) at Verdun close to Nancy? Anyway, this certainly rules out Cire Perdue. Cheers all, John ;)
Ohio:
John I know what you mean about the tiny MMODEL marking. I have a pair of MMODEL pigeons? that were used as what we in the U.S. would call hood ornaments...guess in Europe they were called mascots & it was close to two years before I happened to notice the mark...originally thought it was a tiny bit of damage.

John Smith:
Yes Ken, how on Earth I overlooked this is beyond me, it is a very tiny mark, but I should have seen it!!! Information about M Model is fairly scarce, though I do know that most of his glass was indeed exported
to USA... particularly his car hood/mascots.
They're a fine pair of pigeons! Have you tried to breed them? :)
I have seen a hood mascot in the style of an Art Deco ram:

by M Model and a few lamp shades, but that is all. :-\
Many thanks to you, J.
John Smith:
... It's bad light here, but here are couple of more "fuzzy" pics of the lamp.
The Windsor vase by Walther & Sohne, and the Bagly Grantham is to show the scale.
The glass is 1 inch thick... 16 inches high.
