This is an attractive piece of vintage Scottish glassware.
This is a vintage tulip lamp. These are always popular mid-century Scottish lamps - and I have a couple on stock and sold a few in recent times.
All my Vasart lamps have been more sought-after bright primary colours. These brighter lamp colours are harder to find so if you would like one... don't hold back.
This lovely yellow one is a fine hand-made glass tulip table lamp - which was made between 1946 and 1963 at Vasart.
The lamp is made from one piece of blown glass and gets its name as it is shaped like a tulip flower. The colours on this one are very attractive and unusual. The main base colour is a canary yellow colour which melds into a more rich and darker shade of black speckles to the crown - there are black swirls over the area where the two shades meet across the middle of the body. These are enlightened by the bright primary tutti-frutti flecks of colour around the vortex area.
The glass body of the tulip lamp is made of more opaque glass.
The lamp has a circular pedestal base - with a little blown lifted bridge on the foot to allow the cable to run neatly underneath and to the bulb holder and bulb inside. This bridge was created in the making process and it is not ground out channel underneath as you might find on later 1980s versions of these tulip lamps.
This lamp is wired and with its original white plastic finger switch to allow you to switch it on and off easily. This is nice and clean and in good condition. It is certainly pretty when all lit up, as photographed. Of course, it is in good original vintage condition - with no damages or restorations.
A nice accent piece to cast a subtle warm glow in a sitting room, dark corner or even a hallway.
The lamp is 10 inches in height - and has a diameter of the base 5 3/4 inches. The flex is slightly shorted in length - at 1.2 metres - but it has a finger switch so you can plug in to a mains socket and switch on and off at the finger switch higher up.
It will be sent to you all carefully packed with Parcelforce24. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
