Original Kerosene Stained Glass Slag Lamp Tiffany Antique Mission Prairie Arts
This is an old kerosene lamp with its original stained glass shade, never electrified. All the glass is intact. The bronze or brass? Base is six-sided, with a heavy ring mounted as decoration on each side. The struts between the six panels are shaped into six scroll feet for the base. The kerosene reservoir sits in a circular hole in the top of the base. The six-sided shade is mounted on a metal ring that sits on top of the burner. The kerosene burner is marked Royal. The screw works, and the lid on the reservoir unscrews nicely. The shade has a decorative metal bead or band at the bottom edge. The only damage worth mentioning is a big dent in the bottom half of the reservoir, but this is invisible when the reservoir is in place. This lamp is just as it came out of an old garage, but I did dust it. The glass looks very different inside/outside, so I took some shots out in the sun so you can see the true colors. An amazing survivor, never electrified, still intact. The glass panels are not leaded in, they are loose in the framework. The framework for the glass looks newer at the top rim, so it might be repaired there. There are small dings, some crusty corrosion, etc. Normal wear over the years. It is 21 inches tall and 16 inches at the widest point of the shade, so it would work as a centerpiece on a large table.
