Description

The listing, Vintage 1950s Oil Lamp - Japan - Pink Hands - Very Retro has ended.

I really hate to let this interesting vintage piece go!! As fabulous as it is, I just don't have any good place to put it. It's an antique; I have never seen one like it. This is a small porcelain vintage oil lamp from the 1950s. It features pink hands that hold the bowl for oil, and a white chimney with pink roses. Gold colored accents surround the base, the top of the chimney, and the roses. Would make an interesting retro conversation piece for any room. The bottom of the chimney reads JAPAN in red letters.
As this thing was made before I was born, I can't guarantee that it came from any smoke-free, pet-free environment. Just about everybody smoked back then anyway. LOL. I hope this makes someone very happy with its weirdness. :)

My mom had it for years. She was going to throw it away after the 2008 flood, but I said NOOOOO and I cleaned it up and had it for awhile. Now it's up for grabs. :)

haha I always do that to my mom when she cleans out the garage, I sit there and watch and everytime she puts something in the out pile 'NOOOO!'

Can you tell me how tall the lamp is?

Nov 5th, 2011 at 12:45:08 PM PDT by

As I have it all wrapped up, I can't get an exact measurement, but from my memory it is about 10" tall.
