[QUOTE="DC1989, post: 2691676, member: 5271"]Hello! Looking for some help today on a Frederick Cooper lamp I recently acquired. I have been collecting and reselling vintage lamps for about a year now and have some knowledge about FC lamps but this one is a little different from what I have seen in past.... This one seems to have quite a few manufacturer flaws (not age related flaws) including holes in ceramic, incomplete glaze finish and yellowed glaze finish — not the high quality I usually see on lamps by FC of a similar age. Hand painted design is similar but not exact same to other vintage lamps by FC online. Most surprising is that, under the glaze, there’s a hand print signature —- F. Cooper. I have never heard that FC signed his lamps. Lamp did come with its original F. Cooper lampshade. What do y’all think? I’m torn on this one....is it worth more because of the signature or less bc of the manufacturer flaws?[ATTACH=full]274271[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]274271[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]274274[/ATTACH] Would love your opinions!
