Antique Vintage Macomb? Stoneware Pottery Crock-to-Lamp Conversion.

This very old, what appears to be a Macomb Stoneware pottery crock, was transformed into a lamp, likely no more recently than the 1960\'s, possibly earlier, due to the age of the cord, and the huge hand painted, embroidered lamp shade. The harp is by Automax.

Although difficult to see, it does seem to say Macomb Stoneware on the bottom. There appears to be other writing, but I cannot make it out.

In order to not damage the crock, I believe the orange ceramic piece was added to the top, and the lamp cord exits from the bottom of the socket, instead of running through the pot.

Except for a few small nicks at the very bottom edge of the crock, none of the other areas that look like damage, are actually damage. The glaze imperfections appear to have been there since it was manufactured, or are simply due to age.

The lamp functions properly, and the non-polarized cord still looks good, aside from the obvious discoloration.

Approximate dimensions:

8.5\" ceramic height

7 3/4\" diameter

90\" cord

26\" diameter shade

PLEASE NOTE THAT IF HAVING THE LAMP SHIPPED, A SHADE IS NOT INCLUDED, AND WILL NOT BE SHIPPED.

The 1st image shows how the lamp could look with a tall, modern cylindrical shade that\'s 12\" tall. This shade can be the one included in the sale, if picking up the lamp locally.
