I thought you were UK based. Might be best to email a photo to Rod
Donaldson at Source with some dimensions, he's on broadband. He may have
something stashed away. Not everything is on the site.

Blowing it should not be difficult, if it requires a flange at the top
then it will most likely have to have a punty mark at the bottom but
this can be ground out and polished. If no flange, just straight sided,
then the piece could be cut from the blown item leaving what you want
without requiring a punty.

The punty is the small piece of glass used to hold the glass to another
iron when the piece is transfered from the blowing iron.

Where about in the world are you.


Hi David,

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm in Shropshire, England. I had a look
at the Source Antiques site but can't see any lights of this design on
there at the moment, but there is some pretty nice other stuff. Maybe
I should e-mail him a picture of the lamp and see if he can get the
glass? I'm not bothered about the glass being red as I want to use the
lamp for ordinary lighting.

The globe is essentially a cylinder with a hemisphere on the end and
about 1/4" thick. I think it probably has a lip on the upper end but I
can't tell for sure as I haven't been able to disassemble the lamp
yet. Do you think it would be straightforward enough to blow?

Best wishes,

Chris
