Topic: Potential Monart Mushroom Lamp ID

[Nick K]

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me ID the lamp below. I believe it's a Monart Mushroom Lamp attributed to John Moncrieff Ltd, Perth. I also think it may be colouring 156 as detailed here:

https://www.ysartglass.com/Moncat/Colours199.htm (as it appears to be red, black and have gold aventurine).

If anyone could let me know what I should look out for to make sure it's authentic I would be really grateful! Thanks in advance for your help!

My very amateur opinion from the sidelines, is that it is from the Ysart stable, but not Monart.
The shade of red is too orange, the swirls are too curly and wave like, the shape is too rounded.

But it might be just my interpretation of colours and the difference between photos and reality.
At first, from the thumbnail, I thought it was too splodgy, but on enlargement, saw it was wispy too.
So I might be wrong. Best wait for those who know more than I do.

But see the lamp here. P23. That is the correct shape of shade.

Hi Sue!

Thank you so much for your speedy reply! Yes, I suspected it might be Vasart as well, but would be keen to hear what others think too.
