While the individual letters of the inscriptions are legible, their combination makes no sense – a clear indication of historismus. This factor differentiates this lamp from the two other examples included in this sale, all of which have perfectly legible inscriptions presumably copied from genuine examples.
The pointil mark on the underside of the foot in the form of a five-pointed rosette is something not encountered on other lamps, but which might well provide a clue as to the manufacturer. Apart from these small points, and the unusually elongated and flaring neck, this lamp has mastered the technical aspects of the manufacturing of these difficult lamps remarkably well.
