Titian Lamp Bases Infor required
shazz Fri Aug 15, 2008 9:35 pm
I have'nt got any experience in Titian lamp bases at all, I recently bought what I thought was a Titian Lamp base, but it feels very different. The shape, appearance, lamp shade and style fits BUT when it arrived, it was heavy as.. a stipple effect, almost like concrete, but not quite. Collectiques recently posted a photo of a plain on in the Titian shapes section, it looks similar in texture. any help would be greatly appreciated - thank you

First thing I do when I buy a lamp base is remove the lamp bit....I cant think of a worse design feature than those old style lamp shades....Especially if its got holes, fly dirt, well actually in can be in perfect condition too

I went there a few months ago & they had some nice Luke Adams including teapots. I bought one plus these 2 vases - the Doris Dutch on the right is 19 cm tall and the left one is an Elizabeth Matheson "Paka".

More info

since deciding that this lamp base is the same shape (after showing quite a few different people) is very similar if not the same as the one on page 158 (the effects of war section) of the "new zealand pottery book by gail Henry" I have taken the felt of the base of them lamp. The lamp has been filled with a substance thats probably been put there to insure the lamp is stable on the table of shelf. I have taken a photo of the base... the surrounding part seems like pottery, but it has residue from the felt on it, the outside feels extremely cold and has a stippled effect , the inside has been filled with the substance only about 1 third of the way.
