Do you have pics Stephanie? Big lamps were all the rage right through 1950-70's.

I have a giant blue pottery lamp. The base is about four feet tall. It has a nightlight in the middle, and a pattern in the pottery to allow the light to show through. I have looked everywhere for something like it, but can't figure out even enough to date it or come up with a maker. The lamp base is unmarked and the bottom and top of the lamp are metal. It has a metal pull chain for the light, and two colors of blue were used in the glaze. The glaze has also been coated with a clear glaze. I am guessing it is probably from the 1960's or 1970's. Does anyone remember a trend of giant pottery table lamps with nightlights inside?

Martin those are pretty close! Makes you register to see the prices darn it. That one was 1900-1920

Hi Jason, Absolutely! Can't do anything until I know for certain. That's why I went to some of the best and am hoping for an answer! Thanks

It would appear that one of the best in the industry agrees with you.

“This happened to me two days ago when Vicki H. sent me a picture of a painting and mentioned that she had also bought a pottery vase for just a few dollars. The painting didn't set me on fire but when I opened the attachment showing the picture of the vase I said, “Oh my.” ………….“Also Pewabic used paper labels and that could be the reason for no mark. I believe she has found a vase worth $1000 - $5000 and I don't think she will be disappointed with either price.” per D.L.
Guess we are just looking for further authentication?

It's much too old for that. I believe it is yelloware, I found the following during many long hours of research: 1.Mary Chase Perry worked in Heavy Volcanic Type Glazes and lusters were used. C. 1907-1911. 2. Early pieces were thrown. 3. Similar and almost exact shapes are found in early ads for Pewabic pottery. 4. Paper labels were used during this time period - hense no mark. So that is what I've found so far. I hope that one of the experts I sent pics to will get back with me and solve the mystery - Lol

If Not Pewabic, I think it is a Studio piece from the last 20 years,
But For You I hope it is Pewabic

Thanks Carolyn, I did send pics to treadway - awaiting their opinion. If not Pewabic - what do you think?

Maybe if you send pics to David Rago, he could confirm yes or no
