Up for sale are these beautiful 19th Century blue opaline French lustres! They are 13 inches tall and the  tulip-shaped top is approximately 6 inches in diameter. The base is approximately 5 1/2 inches in diameter. Most of the gold trim has worn away. Each lustre has 10 drops. On one lustre there are eight 8 inch drops, one 7 inch drop and one 6 inch drop. The other lustre has nine 8 inch drops and one 6 inch drop. I'm assuming that these have been replaced. There are some small "dabs" of blackish hardened material close to the bottom of each lustre that could be an adhesive. Please feel free to email us with any questions/comments. Sold!

This Duncan Pottery television lamp is dated 1954. It stands 11 inches tall and is 9 inches wide. The leaves are a bluish green and the base is a light green color. There are no cracks or chips. The wiring probably needs to be replaced just due to age but is not broken anywhere that I could see. Sold!
