PRINCE OF WALES FEATHERS PLUME FAIR LIGHT. 3.3ins tall, gorgeous golden amber glass, sheared lip. ‘PATTISON LONDON’ embossed round the base. Made by glass and bottle makers James Pattison of London who specialised in optical and medical wares, but were responsible for two Vauxhall lamps: this design and one featuring a penny red stamp-like profile of Queen Victoria’s head suggesting they date to the Queens Jubilee celebrations in 1887 when Pattison were at 22 Valentine Place off Blackfriars Road (moved later to Montford Place in Kennington). This is an exceptionally rare and hard to obtain mould recorded in milk glass, cobalt and cranberry as well as shades of amber/ olive glass.Delightful. (9/10)
