I'm not positive, but I am pretty sure it's a lamp. I've seen pictures.  :24: :24: :24:

(Sorry, it's just been that kind of day)  :wsh:  :ooh:

If it's not Steuben, it's Durand.  Lots of Durand vases ended up mounted as lamps.

Ken, I'm a little confused.  The lamp in your link is labeled Durand, not Steuben.

I've got a little confused as well
I think Ken meant the lamp on the right in the link, but read the first id  on the description list in the link, which was for a Steuben, whereas reading further down the description the lamp on the right in the link is actually id'd as Durand in that description.
So, the lamp in this thread accordingly would be Durand if that id is correct in the link Ken gave.

edited - my post was in response to the post above which was then edited  ;D

Yeah, sorry about that. I got my words mixed up.  I should have noted that I edited the post, but I was hoping I was quick enough that no one had seen it. :)

My fault...should have worded it more clearly. Actually was searching because of something thats happened locally...twice last year individuals have bought lamps labeled as Steuben & Durand & the tags stated both were rewired (plastic wiring used) for safety reasons as old cloth wire was frayed & unsafe. Both parties wanted wiring redone in new cloth, however when lamps were diassembled they were found to have Lundberg Studios signatures on them. Both had solid base plates with just a hole leading up into the pipe so bottom & base rim were hidden. Looked good (legit) & Lundberg isn't cheap, but not at Steuben or Durand prices. The bases were early Lundberg pieces not commonly seen in any of the catalogs. Ken
