"Pittsburgh Glass Company Lamp" Landscape, Reverse Glass Paintng
The landscape painting on the reverse side of the glass shade is an exceptionally fine example of the type of artistry required for this technique. It was very popular during the late 1890s through 1920s. The colors are bright and clear.
Nicholas Kopp founded the original Kopp glass in 1900. Kopp was a renowned chemist, and built the company upon his knowledge and ability to hand mold beautiful lamps and tableware in many colors. In 1901, Kopp took on new partners and renamed the company Pittsburgh Lamp, Brass and Glass Company, again specializing in lamps and lighting in an array of colors and decorations. “Pilabrasgo,” as it was called, produced some of the finest crystal etched and cardinal red satin glass lamps in the world. Kopp developed a Selenium Red Glass that was used in the railroad industry for their signaling lamps. Through the years the company changed ownership and different products. Their reverse painted glass shades were some of their most sought after domestic items.

- Pairpoint Glass Lamp #D3070By Pairpoint GlassworksLocated in Bloomfield Hills, MISALE ONE WEEK ONLY This is a beautiful brass and glass lamp with a flock of geese in flight over a water landscape. Shading of sky has the soft blue and golden color of an evening sunset. Pairpoint is known for three kinds of glass lampshades, originally produced from the mid-1890s through the mid-1920s: reverse painted landscape shades (where the glass is hand painted on the inside surface so colors appear softly through the glass), blown out reverse painted shades, and ribbed reverse painted shades, mostly with floral designs and landscape scenes. In 1910, the company began using a spherical knop (or "bubble ball") on some of its pieces, a technique involving trapping air bubbles inside a piece of glass in a symmetrical pattern, which can be applied to ice buckets, decanters, glassware, and other pierces. This became a trademark of the company. Pairpoint's reverse painted lamps are generally considered to be the most popular and expensive of such lamps on the market. Pairpoint Glass Company is an American glass manufacturer based in Sagamore, Massachusetts. It is currently the oldest operating glass company in the United States. The company was founded by Deming Jarves in 1837 in South Boston, Massachusetts, as the Mount Washington Glass...Category

- Banker's/ Desk Lamp by "Pittsburgh Lamp Co." Reverse Painted Shade, ca. 1920'sBy Pittsburgh Lamp, Brass and Glass CompanyLocated in Petaluma, CAThis beautiful little lamp can be used as a desk lamp by just adjusting the lower knuckle to the highest point, which we did for our measurement, or you can lower it with that same knuckle. You can change the angle of the shade with the 2nd knuckle. The beauty is in the lovely painted scene on the shade and the rich gilt patina on the base, which is highlighted with red accent. This really is a little gem. Very high quality and guaranteed to be made by the Pittsburgh Lamp Co. We've sold enough of their lamps to recognize their work. So much more fun than the usual green shade bankers lamp...Category
