Somehow I don,t think its the friend that has them...if you read the post..where its says the owner is looking for $3000...and as for why they are for sale...i would have thought that was obvious...people need money,....If i,d kept everything that I,ve ever had,in the past 40 odd years...I,d need a house 10 times larger than this one,....because as it is, there,s still one room here that we can,t use as its full of..Oh, we,d, better keep that...
I make no excuses,and no apologies....but i like a good Malt,

Wow, this is all really interesting since the owner of these lamps was asking $3,000 for just one! You've all been extremely helpful, and I'm passing this info onto my friend ASAP.
here,s another in the same vane...as what the Ip man found...be sure to show your friend these...

It i really difficult from the pictures but my feeling is with what the others said. I have seen Loetz and actually owned one and it was an expanded blue iridescent piece,unlike either of these. It was made in other colors but I never saw one that resembled these. Loetz is very often unsigned though. Mine was not signed. Better pictures would help a lot.

Unfortunately getting "repro" shouted at me also.

But, that is a good thing is you are a buyer and wanting one and ti doesn't have to be an original!
