I'm trying to describe this lamp for a writeup for someone, and I can't remember what the term for this colored glass is. Can someone assist with the glass style/pattern, as well as an approximate age (or how I could guestimate the age)?
Thanks

Mold blown? Reticulated mold blown? Mexican Reticulated Mold blown Pattern Glass , 1960's, just a guess on the year, looking at the hardware.
WOW, can you say THAT 3 times fast? Well, I'm trying to find "Reticulated Mold blown Pattern Glass" on Google, buy no luck yet. Will keep trying tomorrow, but if someone has clues as to where to find some history of this type of lamp, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

He's absolutely right about 1960's, but there's a possibility it could be from the 70's or even date as far back as the late 50's, no earlier. Pattern glass is a nice general term for the stuff. Quite popular with my generation, as is all kitsch. For history, look for interior design books from the 1960's. It's not a lamp with "provenance", per se, unless you know something we don't know and can't tell from looking at the picture.
Of course, there is also the possibility that I'm completely wrong and I could only tell for sure by seeing it in person. However, that's my best guess, based on my experience in the antique and reproduction lighting industry.
