Product Details

Fairy lamps, popular in the Victorian era and revived in the mid-20th century, were designed to hold a small candle, casting a soft, ambient glow. They often featured decorative glass shades and bases, with many manufacturers producing them in various colors and motifs. The "Glimmer" line by Viking Glass, known for its textured patterns and vibrant colors, is a notable example of mid-century American art glass. This particular owl-shaped fairy lamp is a classic example of mid-century decorative art glass, likely produced by Viking Glass. The ruby red color and the textured diamond pattern are hallmarks of their production during the 1950s and 1960s. These pieces were popular as decorative items and were often sold as part of sets or as individual collectibles.
