I came across this beauty today in a local antique mall and I had to have it (especially for only $20 including the shade). The shade is just as cool.

Apparently less than ten of these lamps are known to collectors of Puerto Rican Pottery and this may be the first found in this particular shape. 13.5" tall.

I found this on a recent trip to Minneapolis. The cord plug is interesting, also. It is off-center and bakelite. I'll add a photo of the plug later.

Just wanted to share a picture of a Torino lamp I picked up recently. It was made in 1979.


Torino is famous for their robot and molecule lamps.

This is the second lamp I found on my trip to Tampa, but this one was found at a flea market for only $45. I offered that price, and the person accepted it... I was floored!
