Vintage 1940's Tall Lincoln Drape popular Light Pink Milk Glass Lamp Base / Upcycled Pink Milk Glass Planter / Upcycled Pink Glass Candle Holder
Aladdin Light Pink Kerosene Mantle Lamp Base, Planter or Candle Holder - Vintage 1940's
Tall Lincoln drape lamps were sold by Aladdin glass works from 1940-1949. Alacite was originally formulated to look like the lamp was made from old Ivory. The Aladdin glass works only had a single glass pot to draw molten glass from to form the lamps. So they only made a single colour of lamp each day. Then the next day they would put in glass of a different colour into the pot without cleaning any remaining glass from the previous day's work. This means some Alacite lamps have a pink tint, like the one on offer.
Elegant fluted body with drapery and popular tassels and twelve sided base.
I think it would make an excellent planter for a tiny plant (since the opening is only two inches) or a candle holder. It is heavy; nearly 4.5 pounds. If you wanted to use it as a lamp, you would have to purchase lamp fittings and a chimney. I have a second one if you would like to buy a pair.
SIZE: 10 inches high, diameter of opening 2 inches
