That's really interesting information Nic, thanks.

On a slightly related note, I was given an enormous red with a white lining Arthur Percy  Gullaskruf style flask (over 3 feet tall), and have recently discovered a cable hole in it, towards the base. It is properly cut - round with not much chipping around the edges.
Studying it makes me suspect it was professionally done, not a home bungle.

Do you know, or suspect if it might have been one of these companies you mention were also lamping other suitable items?  ;D

Entirely possible - I've a giant red Elme flask-type vase that's been 'lamped' professionally, with a colour-matched lacquered hardboard cap and a nice chunky teak base.

Thanks, Nic. It's very good indeed to have your support for my suspicions. 
It makes them a lot less suspicious. ;D

I don't know if my giant red flask is Elme or Gullaskruf. It has a narrow rim, not a widely flared one. I don't use it as a lamp - it's got pride of place on top of my kitchen shelves.
But I like them all. :)

Wonderful! Mine is a different shape. The bottom has a more pointed top part, ::) and the neck narrows in the middle - it looks longer too.

Does yours have a flange or is that part of the lamping?
Is yours cased in clear? (I think I can see an outline in one pic, but I'm not sure.)

They really are stunning beasts. ;D
