This isn't Stevie's lamp, but it's pretty darn close.

Here are a few more. The third is closest to hers (sans color). The top of Stevie's lamp is blue, but the base is actually purple.

I'd love to get me one of those lamps. They're pretty cool. They look like they'd go well in a house full of antiques, and I love antiques.

Where did you find these? I've been looking all over.
Are these for sale anywhere ?
I've been to a Tiffany specialist and could'nt find anything near these.Stevie 's lamp isnt a Tiffany,because Tiffany always uses flowers or animals on the lamps.

I want one like these!

Cool, thanks. btw... how much do you think a lamp like that runs? Can't go hogwild until I get a job, lol.

At first glance I read that as glass shag lamps. :o I'm sure they'd be quite conductive to that as well. :)


This picture is fabulous! Thanks for posting it!

They're known simply as Slag Glass Lamps or just Slag Lamps (slag is the style of glass, that wavy, multi colored stuff). They were a big thing in the '20s. Look for them on eBay, they generally run a couple grand. Here is one pretty much identical to Stevie's, sans the color:

The glass panels are interchangeable, so in theory you can buy a lamp that's one color, and change out the panels at your whim. That's probably how Stevie's ended up having a purple base, with a blue shade.

Here's another variation, but not as detailed, so it's half the price:

Indeed, they're not Tiffany. Stevie has been mistaken all these years. They were made by various manufacturers in the '20s and '30s, and are simply known as "slag lamps" because of their slag glass. All of that is good for us, because you can pick up really nice slag lamps identical to Stevie's for $1-2 grand, versus paying six figures for a Tiffany. I think these are cooler looking than actual Tiffany Lamps anyway. :shrug:
