Volkmar Lamp Base

575

Here for your consideration is an outstanding Volkmar lamp base. Colors are great. The chrysanthemums in full glorious bloom are raised. Really a beauty and low priced. Lamp base by Volkmar, a New York pottery company, measures a whopping 13" wide x 13" to the top of the original brass insert. That brass burner assembly is really nicely shaped. Has that good old art nouveau shape that Tiffany used. This piece is nicely detailed with strong well coordinated colors. This beauty is in excellent original condition. Also has a paper tag on the bottom "Burley & Co. Chicago china & glass". Volkmar pottery was made by Charles Volkmar of New York from 1879 to about 1911. He was associated with several firms, including the Volkmar Ceramic Company, Volkmar and Cory, and Charles Volkmar and Son. Volkmar was a skilled and accredited artist had been a painter; his highly skilled designs often look like oil paintings drawn on pottery.
