    Hi everybody!

    I'm having a question..
    Perhaps a real stupid question, since I'm the one that's been posting all these opaline glass topics.

    A month ago I have bought these 6 ball lamps / sconces,
    but I wasn't sure if they were made out of glass.
    I started doubting because I have (online) come across some other lamp shades that looked like glass but they weren't. I believe these were made out of bakelite or plaster or any other plastic.

    Also I don't know if they metal is just metal or brass.
    The 2 metal caps are magnetic, the middle pieces on all lamps aren't.

    Somebody was interested in these lamps, so I decided to ask you guys,
    before selling it as glass when it isn't. Even though I believe they are :p

    I also have this lamp. Which doesn't look like glass to me, but I really don't know.

    Im a little confused. How could you not tap it and tell if its glass or plastic ?

    Yes I did haha. But because my brother said NO and I said YES I doubted it.
    But I'm sure these are glass now, because he just showed me a plastic one :p

    I know I sound very stupid right now haha. Excuse me.

    And is it right that these are from the Art Deco period?

    We all have moments like that. :) id say 1970s more than art deco,but they are cool looking and to have so many is awesome.

    I'd call them wall light fixtures. Maybe I'm wrong.
