OLD ORNAMENTS FOR NEW LAMPS
Old 18th century tea caddies of on ainclled and painted‘tin are much sought after just now in curio shops for lamp purposes. If the colours of, the decoration arc carefully copied the pagoda-shaped shade that you give to tiio bulb, the effect is quaint and most successful. Pots of preserved ginger 100 arc bought to-day simply because the green six-sided jars afford a splendid basis for a lampstand. Very jolly they look when the shade is one of talc that simulates tortoiseshell.
Another lovely lamp I saw had been formed out of an old sugar basin of Chelsea porcelain—one of those big oval affairs that went with our great. grandmothers’ tea-sets. This had r. simple parchment shade painted with a garland of the little pinkish flowers that embolished the china.
