I don't know where @DragonflyWink found it, but there belongs the credit.
This might be worth a second look: [ATTACH]...
Not me that pointed it out... it was Aquitaine. I didn't see it.
The colors look muddy to me, not well applied at all. It's the sort of thing that makes me suspicious. What makes you think Royal Dux?

An ecuelle.
Any stained glass supply store will have inexpensive alternatives to that glass. It would be uncomfortable using the lamp with plain glass in place.
Sounds like a Bob Ross situation. A one man painting factory. Have brush... will travel.
ISBN numbers weren't introduced until 1967 ('68 in U.S.).
Separate names with a comma.
