Topic: Ruby cage blown lamp base Whitefriars/Nazeing?

[chriscooper]

Picked this up today I know Whitefriars did these for outside porch lights never seen a lamp one though.
The seller said they'd had it since the 60s/70s and insist it's made by Nazeing I know nothing about Nazeing so presume they do, any help appreciated it's 13" high excluding the lamp fitting also has a bulb in the base so it should  look good lit up let you know later it does work.

Hi Chris i believe its Nazeing , cheer up Chris its probably a better seller at the moment than W/Fs

Nazeing certainly did make lamp shades blown into cages, but that's as far as I know...

All I can say is that it is not illustrated in Timberlake's book on Nazeing. Even if you take into account that it is a lamp base as opposed to a lattern, the frame form is not there.

There were a number of other companies that made these, which have been discussed on these boards over the years.
