☼ Lava Glazed Tear Drop lamp ☼



I just love this 38cm, German ceramic Lava tear drop shaped Lamp Base by Roth or perhaps even Scheurich in the 1960's to 1970's, that I found on Ebay in November.

It's so reminiscent of those time periods, has a very unique shape and the added bonus that it's fired in Lava Glaze which always makes items of those periods look so much cooler, add to that the funky orange glaze and wow, we have a winner!

The only problem is a lot of other people agreed with me and in the end it sold for £42.51, still it's another one for the wishlist and to keep my eyes peeled for!








Sadly it has no markings on the bottom so it's not possible for me anyway to tell who made it, but it does have the original on / off switch which also helps to pin point it in time.

Perhaps one day I'll find another for less than this one cost and grab myself a bargain, at least I hope so!


Hugs,

VINTAGE MOLDED CARD BOARD CHRISTMAS CANDY DISH

Vintage, molded cardboard candy dish, made in Germany. It measures 11 1/2", 1 3/4" deep.

I find this fascinating, I'd love to know how it was made, I'm guessing it is made of sheets of plain paper, was dampened and then molded, then after so many layers have been built up, a final sheet of  bright images is placed on top and once dried, varnished on both sides for extra strength and protection - at least that's how I would do it!  Ah well, in some ways it doesn't matter as either way it's beautiful!

It's also given me an idea, I think perhaps I have found a use for my Christmas Cards, this year!
