The shade of this Pittsburg reverse painted lamp is done in warm hues and depicts a river bordered with large trees. Close inspection reveals a hunter and his dog strolling along beside the river. The scene is painted on the inside, but there is also some paint highlighting the trees on the outside. "Plinging" the shade renders a delighfully crystaline sound that indicates the quality of glass used in this shade which is covered in a raised floral design. Its base is beautifully detailed, with the center post supported by three buttresses shaped like oriental daggers which are themselves supported by dolphin/dragon like fish. The base is triangular with the points rounded and has intricate detailing. Under the base is the mark of the Pittsburgh Lamp, Brass & Glass Co--PLB&Co. The number appears to be 122, but I don't know if I am seeing all of it. I don't believe the wiring is original, but it appears to have been rewired quite some time ago. This beautiful lamp is in excellent condition having no chips on the shade. The top finial post is slightly bent and the threads are worn almost down, which makes the finial not have a good grip. The dealer will entertain serious offers.
