Speed Racer Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hello, does anyone know anything about these ship lamps? The base is glass and the sails are metal. Not really sure of the maker but someone suggested Houze Glass. This pic isn't mine but it is almost exactly the same ship-lamp as mine. Only difference is that mine has colorful swirls on a translucent clambroth-looking base and resembles the swirlful slag glass on the art deco period smoking stands. I can't get to my ship lamp to take a picture (packed up somewhere) but I will soon. Thanks for any thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigjohn691500 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 it looks as if yours might have a lil bit more bling bling,, but nailing down a certain manufacure is tough w/o makers marks,, their just called TV lamps,, good book good read,, alot of these came from Sears, so if you can nail down a Sears catalog from the 50's you might get more info,, hope this helps,, bj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Racer Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Thanks Steph, it took a while to find/unpack again. It sure beats the crap out of the example I found in first post, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I wasn't even sure I was seeing glass on the first one. Yours is scrumptious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spara50 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I have quite a bit of Houze glass items, but have only seen the schooner in an original Houze glass advertisement. It was only by itself with no ship or lamp parts attached, just a bowl type of item. Awesome piece! Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
