Hey,

Thanks for responding to my Puffy Puzzlement. I guess I'm leaning towards the Base being the real deal and the Shade being a knockoff. In all the
World Wide Webosphere, I can't find one other example of an authentic Puffy shade that is not reverse painted. Of course it could be the coveted Pairpoint Highlander model (there can only be one) but that seems rather specious.

Regards,
Dex

The tree trunks on the outside of shade and the bottom border have definite edges - the paint or whatever material is quite thick. The inside of the shade has no painting. Thanks!!

Hi,

I was wondering if all the Pairpoint Puffy lamp shades were reverse painted. I have a closed top shade with hand painted tree trunks rising from the base and culminating with the tree canopies at the top. Were there any early shades that did not use the reverse painted method? The base seems to pass the  test (Pairpoint markings and numbers) but the top has no markings or signatures whatsoever. The shade fits perfectly on the four arms coming from the base and the glass is thick and heavy.

Thanks for any insight,
Dex
