Rare Potter Studio Hammered Copper, Mica & Cinnabar Lamp 1928

Rare Potter Studio Hammered Copper, Mica & Cinnabar Lamp 1928. Signed. Excellent new patina to base. Shade has excellent original patina and original mica. The shade was not made by Potter Studios but is a perfect, period appropriate collaboration. The shade appears to be a John L. Willocx who ran The Russian Copper Shop of Oakland, CA. There does seem to be some connection between his work and that of Lillian Palmer, but to date the connection has not been clearly defined. For an identical example of the shade craftsmanship, see: Bay Area Copper 1900-1950, Dirk van Erp & His Influence, page 106, figure 275 (also featured on the front cover). 21.5"h x 15.5"d
