Beautiful vintage Fostoria Coin Glass lamp in rich amber glass, featuring molded American coin medallions—including the Liberty Bell—and a coordinating textured amber glass shade with a softly ruffled rim.
Designed in the traditional hurricane or courting-lamp form, this vintage lamp has been fitted for electric use. The light shines warmly through the patterned amber glass, creating a particularly attractive glow when illuminated.

CONDITION
Very good vintage condition overall. The amber glass displays beautifully, with no obvious cracks or major chips observed. The brass-tone hardware has normal age-related patina and surface wear.
Because glass shade fitter rims are concealed by the metal gallery, minor roughness or tiny fitter flakes may be present. The lamp retains older electrical components and wiring. Although it was tested and working, buyers may wish to have any vintage lamp inspected by a qualified professional before extended use.
Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.
The silver-tone serving tray and other surrounding objects shown in the photographs are not included.
This is a wonderful accent lamp for a traditional, Colonial Revival, cottage, Americana, or vintage-inspired interior. Its glowing amber color makes it especially attractive on an entry table, sideboard, mantel, or bedside table.
The glass shade will be removed and carefully wrapped for shipping. The lamp will be securely packed and double-boxed when appropriate.
