This is something I never expected to see in real life as it is complete. It is in three parts, pedestal, candle cup and dome/shade.
1. The fairy lamp.
2. With Welz pieces in the same décor, white spatter on a blue ground.
3. With another Welz pedestal fairy lamp, sadly missing its dome/shade.
4. With non Welz fairy lamps using the S. Clarke patented candle cup. This shows that Welz domes/shades are compatible with the S. Clarke candle cups.
This particular pedestal fairy lamp appears on a page from a Hosch catalogue. See link below.

Thank you, Scott, nothing like making yourself absolutely clear!
Sorry again-- if it was intentional it would have taken up a page or two!

Peggy, this fairy lamp is just so...insanely fabulous! It's making me feel a lot of very happy feelings as a fellow fairy (lamp) fancier. Couldn't have gone to a more deserving owner (except perhaps me, LOL). Congratulations!
I am so happy of this post....
Marin, no one was more surprised than me to find these. I was actually looking for a dome for someone else. I'd given up on fairy lamps as they go for crazy prices here in the UK. Both were reasonable as they have flaws. However where will I find another Welz fairy lamp..... short of posting a letter up the chimney!!!
Sylvia, I'm pleased you are happy, whether because you like the fairy lamp or the good fortune we all experience in glass collecting. Wishing you luck too.
