<p>[QUOTE=&quot;UncleChuckTX, post: 234506, member: 154&quot;]This is the shade that sits on top of the plate.&nbsp; It was originally used in the the Smith oil lamp, but was repurposed to create a candle lamp. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]70886[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The shade fits at the outer ring.&nbsp; The inner ring holds the candle / votive holder / tealight in place, just as Peggy is showing in her mockup photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMHO, this was just an easy way for Smith to introduce a &quot;new&quot; item to the product line using existing molds (with only minimal modification).&nbsp; Tiara did a similar thing with the molds from their fairy lamp shade and ashtray, to create a table-top candle lamp:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]70887[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Same concept when Taco Bell introduces a &quot;new&quot; taco, but it&#039;s really just a regular hard-shelled taco wrapped in a tortilla, glued together with nacho cheese.&nbsp; It&#039;s all just crap they already have lying around the kitchen.&nbsp; Voila!&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And, sorry Peggy - Once you described the lamp shown in the book, I remembered that I&#039;ve seen a couple of them in various antique and resale stores over the years.&nbsp; I even remembered thinking that the base was just a lunch plate, with the rings added.&nbsp; Oh well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
