Lamps on Etsy

I love lamps! Can't get enough of them! Here are a few awesome lamps currently available on Etsy.

Vintage Yellow Hollywood Regency Ginger Jar Lamps set $200 from The Vintage Supply Co:



Pair of Vintage Ginger Jar Lamps $32 from The Relic Trail:



Vintage Pink Glass Lamp Pair $38 from Bellalulu:



Vintage Pair of Turquoise Lamps (sold) from the Sunday Times Market:



Vintage Mid Century Chrome Balls Lamp $150 from Modern to Retro:



Vintage Lucite Grapes Table Lamp $60 from By Gone Years:



The grape lamp is particularly tempting! There are a few others just like it on Etsy that are perhaps not quite as nice but much cheaper (around $22). I might have to go there!

My aunt is a set dresser with amazing taste who has long had a divine glass fruit lamp sconce that she used as a table lamp and I've always wanted one just like it! Here is one that's similar, it's described as a Vintage Czech Glass Fruit Lamp Shade Light and is $150 right now on Ebay:



While I'm at it, this Kiwi Green Glass Apothecary Bottle $16 from Haus Proud has been calling me, I might have to get it!



It's similar to the pair of turquoise opaline Portieux Vallerysthal barber bottles circa 1930 that I've previously posted about and that I happen to know I am getting for my birthday in a just a few weeks!!

Glass Display: Inspired by Adler

Next on the turquoise wish list? These vintage Portieux Vallerysthal Opaline bottles that I've been coveting for the past seven months, which were still available at La Moderne as of a few days ago. Yay birthday present!



Perhaps I'll set aside an area for my collection of turquoise items like this:



But what I've REALLY wanted to do ever since I visited the Parker Palm Springs in 2006 with my family is something like this glass display by Jonathan Adler.









It's just that my glass collection is a little bit of slow going! This is what I have so far, most of which I've had since I was in high school!







Plus this turquoise hobnail covered candy dish I got on Ebay for $25.49 just over a year ago.



A few more shots of the delicious Parker Palm Springs:







After our visit I spent a year or so trying to track down these pillows (I have them now, purchased from ABC Carpet & Home):



& these candle holders, some of which had glass also, which I never did track down!











A few more interesting examples of glass displays.
