Vtg Mary Louise McLaughlin Hand Painted Floral Flower Table Vase Lamp Light NR!

This listing is for a vintage lamp hand painted by Mary Louise McLaughlin (1847-1939). It has been in the seller's family since the 1930s if not earlier. Mary's signature is found at the bottom. When we removed the base to look for more information, we saw some minor chips and a stamp that ends with the letters "LER" which leads us to believe the lamp started out as a vase. It worked well when we tried it out. The lamp does not come with a bulb or shade and has some scuffs and moderate crazing. This listing has no reserve price so don't miss your chance to win!

The winning bidder can also pick up this item at our store in Winooski, Vermont to save on shipping charges. All local pickups are subject to 6% Vermont state sales tax.

Approximate measurements: 15" high; 5" wide

From Wikipedia:

"Mary Louise McLaughlin (September 29, 1847 - January 19, 1939) was an American ceramic painter and studio potter from Cincinnati, Ohio, and the main local competitor of Maria Longworth Nichols Storer, who founded Rookwood Pottery. Like Storer, McLaughlin was one of the originators of the art pottery movement that swept the United States."
