I've been working on this baby for a while. As soon as I saw this pattern I knew that's why I'd bought all this clear textured glass. Sorry, It's not the greatest pic but I wanted to show you. Isn't it pretty? Not sure what I'm going to do with it but it was just one of those had to make things, lol.

That is sooo pretty! Really like the clear textures. Do you know what the glass with the flowers is? Never seen anything like that here.

It ISN'T Wissmach Florentine! I used Mayflower in the lamp - it's a bigger Daisy than the Florentine. I have both and actually do prefer the Florentine but they're both really nice pieces of glass. Thanks everyone!

I love your clear textured lamp. Could you tell me what company made that Mayflower glass and if you happen to know the glass number?
I found a photo of the glass but not the manufacturer yet :(
Good job Anne!

Good job Anne!
Pilkington is the manufacturer of Mayflower. They make architectural glass, but many stained glass stores (and distributers - Ed Hoy) carry Pilkington. Rebeca |

I used to buy Pilkington at a general glass merchant that carried stock for more than just windows. His Pilkington glass for shower and entry doors was a tad thicker tho' I believe Pilkington make thinner sheets in some of their patterns.

Thanks! I'll check with Hoy's again, but as a request. They don't have it in their 2010 catalogue, nor did they have it on hand when I was there a few weeks ago. I'll see if they can order some.

Thanks to all of you. I too really like what the clear textures did for this lamp - but holy smoke is it ever bright!! I know it doesn't look like it in the pic I posted - and I don't know why I'm surprised as it is all clear glass..............but there we are. I'm going to take it to the shows, see if ends up being this years' wow! Gee, maybe it'll even sell!

I really like that pattern and in all clear textures....that kind of brightness is just what we need in a couple rooms, our livingroom is pretty dark with only a small lamp I made and the lights up high on the fan.

That's got me thinking - maybe I should try one, well at least a sconce lamp - which is about the closest I get to a lampshade - as we are all pretty much changed over to energy saving globes here, which; - say what they like - I find do not give the same light as incandescent globes!! Hope you sell it - AND get orders, Anne! |

and it was a free pattern you guys so if you want it pm me and I'll send it to you! Give me your email address.
Beth, I agree about the new bulbs, not nearly as bright. I had this electrical stuff in a bag in the back of my workbench - which reminds me I should probably see if it's still available. I know that we won't be able to get the old bulbs soon. This pattern would be easily convertible to a sconce Beth!
