Title: SHORTER AND SON (England) Lamp??
Post by: antiquerose123 on April 23, 2014, 11:18:22 AM

Hi, just found this sweet little bear lamp yesterday.  I Can find info on Shorter and Son (as marked on the bottom) just not finding much info on this Bear Lamp or any price ranges to just kinda know my own idea of value......seems to be scarce info for me  :huh: 

Do you know what year this made roughly?  Is the mark an earlier one?

I Read Shorter and Son did Majolica........Is this considered Majolica?  As I am not sure...

He is in Super condition as I do not see any chips, or breaks yet.  It is about 11 inches tall.  Does need new Electrical housing.  Thanks any info greatly appreciated.
