This lamp.

Ok sorry about the link but once again I am on my phone and resizing and uploading pictures is almost impossible for me when using my phone. Anyways, take a look at this lamp. It's huge around 4 feet tall. I have no idea how old it is but I haven't been able to find anything like it. What do you all think?

It is odd, and screaming marriage at me,....but maybe it's not.
The upper parts don't seem to match the base and not only in finish. Also the upper part is poorly cast or at least not cleaned up before finishing. I would think it should match the angle of the body of the lamp and not be straight up and down where they join.
The base seems much cleaner in look.
Can't be the right shade. I'm thinking it had the domed frilly type....green or 'antique' gold or both.

 

Ah ha. I believe you are right.

 

60s over the top assemblage of parts. That base may have been re-painted. Typical for a certain segment of the market back then. There may be a term for lamps with that applied gesso decoration but it escapes me right now. I have a much more tasteful lamp with this type of decoration that I have never been able to sell. Maybe if I was willing to ship to CA You may find a buyer in Austin easier than here.

 

Ha ha. True. LOL

 

On ceramics I've heard it called slip trailing, but also seem to remember some reference to an icing bag? Someone will have fun with it!

 

Stippling maybe?

 

Piping is what it's called in cake decoration... You could say "piped decoration," Kaspers, more people would be familiar with that, I think...

 

Get rid of that shade. Puts the lamp out of proportion.
Original was probably a tall cylinder type shade.

I would have said 1970s for the earth tone color scheme.
