A Steal

from David Donaldson of Orlando

Hi Alan,

“I’ve added a photo of a great 10 inch piece just sold at SaSanin’s on 03/21/2015 for only $475.00. ”
One needs to keep in mind that Mr. Carder made lamp bases….some with drilled vase shapes, and then lamp shafts which are another breed of animal entirely. The green jade lamp is such an example….and a steal I might add!

from Tuesday’s Gazette

Alan, The answer to the “why” question of drilled vases is there are less collectors of lamps than glass. Glass collectors want flawless glass. Lamp collectors buy mostly for the shade not the base. I’ve always thought drilled vases with original factory hardware were under rated and under priced. I’ve added a photo of a great 10 inch piece just sold at SaSanin’s on 03/21/2015 for only $475.00.
