<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 2223560, member: 51&quot;]Recent thrift purchase. A miracle because of recent events the store is a disaster zone, messy, unsold merch that should be pitched literally falling off shelves.&nbsp; Usually is quite clean and organized. Had no hopes of getting anything, but (happily) found the lamp buried under a bunch of lamp shades.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve only found a few Frederick Cooper lamps before, this one I really like.&nbsp; Thinking 1960s/70s era. Would totally keep it, but honestly I don&#039;t have the perfect spot as it is sort of a &quot;living room&quot; lamp and I&#039;ve already got lamps that I love there.&nbsp; Someone who gets it will probably just go for the maker&#039;s name combined with the look, but just for my own interest, do you think the Frederick Cooper company would have converted a Chinese (or similar) vase in their retail lamps?&nbsp; I only found one other online (expired Ebay auction, see below) with mostly this shape with the same handles but different color and pattern.&nbsp;&nbsp; That auction mentioned &quot;lamp converted from vase&quot;, but who knows whether correct.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe [USER=37]@verybrad[/USER] would have ideas as this company was out of Chicago.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is mine from the thrift:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]255036[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]255038[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]255037[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the Frederick Cooper lamp I found online w/ similar shape but now copying the photos I see that this one does not have a round top, but more oval. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]255041[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]255042[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>So would both of these have been from vases or did Fredrick Cooper just make them to look like that?&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen FC auctions calling theirs &quot;hand painted lamps&quot;, no idea if each of these were hand painted in some way.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the vase question, probably doesn&#039;t increase or decrease value, just curious.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
