Sorry, I misunderstood your question earlier about the symbol. I thought you were referring to the signature since I did not know of any other symbols on the lamp. What you’re seeing is actually a reflection of my dining room light above the table where I took the photographs. So it is a reflection in the glass of the lamp. I didn’t even realize it had that in the photo until you mentioned it. Sorry for the confusion over the symbol you were asking about.
Yes I looked at your iisting earlier !! No it is not and if someone told you that,, I would have said “pay me” !! It is a line drawing not a painting and is either machine done or transfer !! Is the symbol I asked about on the glass ?? You can see it in the pic above the image of the girl !!
I can also see the symbol in the listing pics so I can assume it is made in the glass !! Looks like an inverted Y inside a circle ??
I took my photos to the antique show we have once a month and went to the booth that sells lamps. The gentleman told me it’s a GWTW style and since handpainted and signed it could be well worth over $1K, especially from famous artist. That artist signature is on the inside of the top globe. I had someone point me to a website last night to check various things on it. After doing what the website said I believe that it’s not as valuable as the gentleman at the antique show led me to believe and dropped my price substantially. I am curious about it being signed though and I haven’t seen another one like it??? If you go to the link Sophie provided above u can see much better pics of it.
Thanks SophieMarie. That is actually my listing. Lol. I priced it substantially less than what it was thought to be valued at since I didn’t know anything about the artist. I’m still trying to find out anything I can about the artist and the lamp so I can update my listing with any info I find. You’re a great internet detective though!!! Lol. I will send ya all my other unknown items I’ve collected throughout the years to identify for me…lol..jk. 😀
I’ve been told I’m not allowed buy anything else until I get rid of some of what I have and I can’t have that. 😮
Here is a link with the same lamp for $840 on Ebay.
