Hi guys
can anyone tell me if Walther made the shades for their Rotterdam lamp or were they sold as just bases?? I have owned a Blue one for many years and it has a "flame" shade. I was speaking to a person selling a green one and they said that the "star" formation shade was the correct one but I have only ever seen this on Bohemian lamps? Did Walther make both?
Thanks in advance for any help

The search function of this board is invaluable and it still amazes me, what
turns up, when you use it... ;) Please, no offense intended! :angel:

Markus,
ROTTERDAM figurine NEVER appeared as a lamp in the catalogues; only in 1935 catalogue, page 167 as centre piece with a shallow Rotterdam bowl (and crossed out as 'no longer delivered'!)
My pink figurine has got holes for the cable which are moulded, not drilled : http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/kerzenhalter/02125.html (scroll down to second picture).
Here's a quick and blurry shot of my green lamp with a different shade which I think is a bit closer to the Rotterdam bowl pattern -
no idea who made that >:D
Colour of base and shade however are a perfect fit.

Thanks for the info I appreciate it greatly. it is fascinating that it was not put into the catalogue as a lamp as I ahve always thought that the holes looked moulded and not drilled after the event. I am learning all the time. I have a bowl that a friend wants me to post so I will list that later.
Thanks again
Markus
