Cobalt Fairy Lamp. Miscellaneous Fairy Lamp Shear lip, still has the flared out section from the glass works that would have been broken off normally to form the actual lamp. Straight neck down to a neck ring, pineapple shaped with flat bottom. Cobalt. 130 mm. 1880s
Very Good. Some rust spots. Light haze throughout, with some light swirled etching. Will polish up beautifully. Unusual that this one has the "overflow" section from the glass mould - in old glass moulds this section is slightly thinner than the lamp itself and was broken off to form the shear lip. Possibly unique that this one has obviously left the glass works without the finishing having been done. Great item! Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $100 - 125
