1940s/50s Green leaping gazelle, antelope, television lamp

 



This vintage television lamp was made somewhere between the late 40s and the 1950s. The leaping gazelle, or leaping antelope design was a very popular art deco motif. The emerald green glaze was popular during the same era.

I believe this is a fairly early one most likely made by Hollywood Ceramics out of Los Angeles, California. Phil-Mar made a similar style, but I think the open bottom with the foil reflecting the long tube bulb is an earlier creation.
The lamp is an excellent vintage condition without chips or cracks. There are some glazed cracks in the base that were done as a result of the manufacturing process. Unbelievably the lamp still has its original reflector in the bottom.
