In the world of TV lamps animals are definitely "king of the jungle", but humankind sometimes makes a showing as well.

	Made in several colors, this Cali-Co of California "mermaid and shell" is a beauty!
	A manufacturers mark is found on the bottom which reads Cali-Co of Calif 52. This lamp is also found with a foil label that reads, Manufactured by Comer Furniture MFG Co, Downey CA, and I've even found one with a paper label that read Bur-Cal Co. Long Beach, CA.
	This Comer Creations TV lamp is remarkably similar to the shell and mermaid from Cali-Co of California.
	This close-up reveals the loveliest mermaid to ever swim the high seas!
	Here's the back view of the Comer Creations lamp.
	Wow, this one is different! While of the "comedy/tragedy mask" genre, the faces on the Gunter-Kron lamp have a certain sinister quality. The finish is brown with thick white and gold splatters applied over it. One of only two TV lamps that have the Gunter-Kron signature, it is 13" tall and 10" wide. It was also made in turquoise or pink, and it's rare in any color. This one is autographed on the back by Richard Gunter.
	This is a view of the back of the comedy/tragedy TV lamp showing the Richard Gunter autograph.
	Here's the turquoise version of the TV lamp shown above. It's a bit less common than the brown one. Photo courtesy of The Mid-Centurian's Back-to-the-Fifties Room.
	Not only did Americans love everything French in the '50s, they also had a fascination with Oriental themes.
	The recessed top of the above lamp is marked in gold with COPR. FUHRY & SONS, INC.
	This one is so similar to the Fuhry & Sons Oriental Boat lamp that it's hard to believe they were made by different companies. The top was designed to accommodate a table lamp style of fixture and shade, giving the maker two lamps to sell from a single mould. The back is marked, Premco Mfg. Co. Chicago, Ill.

	The back of this lamp clearly shows the Fuhry & Sons mark.
	value:  rarity: The Royal Haeger comedy-tragedy TV lamp proved quite popular, and is highly collectible today. A variation of it was also the basis for Kissner Industries "Tri-Wonder" lamp. Photo courtesy of Becky Kortjohn.
	value:  rarity: This is exciting...1950s technology at it's best, The Tri-Wonder, from Kissner Industries. What initially appears to be your basic TV lamp is actually an bug repellant/anti-odor supercenter! Photos courtesy of Pat Ferguson, Richwood, Ohio.
	From this view you can see two labels that explain all that this amazing lamp does. A spectacular combination of electrical and chemical power, one can only guess what the nuclear version would have been capable of! It is interesting to note that all the Tri-Wonder lamps (the ones I'm aware of) were of the Comedy-Tragedy theme, but of differing designs. Some used the style shown here (unknown maker), while others were based on the Haeger Potteries design.
	This label emphasizes that only "Genuine Tri-Wonder Westinghouse odorout bulbs and de-fly-er chemical tablets" are to be used.
	The second label brandishes the Tri-Wonder emblem, and states the three issues addressed: ODOR-INSECTS-LIGHT. Manufacturer is shown to be Kissner Industries, Inc., Madison, Wisconsin.
	value:  rarity: This one doesn't bear the Kissner/Tri-Wonder labels, and could be a similar product from an entirely different company. This example is built around the Haeger Potteries Comedy-Tragedy TV lamp. Photos courtesy of eBay seller, ocfitness.
	Top view.
	This shot reveals the myriad of bulbs.
	While not the usual Lane & Co. subject matter, this bullfighter was sculpted with care. Photos Courtesy of pastmemorytreasures (eBay)/Tom & Penny Anderson, Jeffersonville, IN.
	This is the reverse of the bullfighter lamp.
	This Lane bullfighter is the same as the one above except for the glaze. The yellow glaze has been further accented with orange and brown around the bullfighter's shoulders and cape.
	This is the reverse of the bullfighter lamp.
	Behind the lightbulb is the Lane marking, which reads, Lane & Co. Van Nuys, Calif. U.S.A.
	Again, something different from Lane. This one has a quality of style that makes me think it's one of their early designs. Photo courtesy of Woodland Trace Collectibles/Bill Keller, Knoxville, TN.
	The Lane & Co. ballerina and swan were also made in solid colors, as seen in this example. Photos courtesy of R.L. Rising of Rising Sky Artworks.
	This is the first time I've seen this one! Similar in format to many other TV lamps, this African Native motif is unusual. Photos courtesy of Pam Corrick from Fairfield, Iowa.
	Back view of the Native lamp.
	At first sight I doubted that this TV lamp was vintage, but closer inspection of the light fixture and cord shows it to have a '50s/'60s heritage. While the design is unusual, it is stylistic in a manner similar to the one above.
	Not a typical subject for Maddux (or anyone else), these latin dancers make for a nice TV lamp! Photo courtesy of Woodland Trace Collectibles/Bill Keller, Knoxville, TN.
	Another view of the Maddux dancers.
	While you don't see this one every day, it's probably the most frequently seen TV lamp by Navis & Smith. Photos courtesy of Woodland Trace Collectibles/Bill Keller, Knoxville, TN.
	This is the back view of the Navis & Smith lamp.
	Similar to the one above, this lady from Navis & Smith is considerably more rare. Photos courtesy of Julia Poole in High Point, North Carolina.

	Interesting TV lamp has two women lounging before a curved fiberglass shade. Only example I've seen of this one! Photo courtesy of Tony Middleton, Sacramento, California.
	This great Hawaiian girl is most often found with a rectangular "shade" which functions as a backdrop. Photos courtesy of Joel & Tammy Webster of Interlochen, Michigan.
	This beautiful chalkware TV lamp has detail that is lacking on most plaster lamps. Photos courtesy of John from Good Riddance Auctions.
	A closer look shows the care put into this lamp.
	Another detail view, this one showing some of the wear that invariably occurs on chalkware items.
	The back reveals the colored shade which disperses the light and makes an attractive glow.
	This great unmarked horse and jockey lamp includes a metal fence as a backdrop. While horses abound as the subjects of TV lamps, this is the only one I can think of with a rider. Also, I can't recall another instance of a racehorse theme being used.
	Back view of the horse and jockey.
	Here's another example of the horse and jockey TV lamp, this one in white with gray accents. Photos courtesy of Tim from California.
	This close-up of the back shows the holes for the metal "fence", missing on this example.
	This is a chalkware TV lamp that appears to be in fine condition. I've seen this design numerous times, and suspect that many have survived because they have been cherished over the years by their owners. Photo courtesy of Freda from Charleston, WV.
	The comedy/tragedy mask is a common subject of TV lamps, but the addition of musical notes makes this one unique. Maker unknown. Photos courtesy of Linda Buchanan of Newbury Park, CA.
	Back view of the comedy/tragedy TV lamp.
	African masks are certainly not a common subject of TV lamps, which is somewhat surprising when you consider the popularity of primitive art during the '50s. (Remember the craze for "Tiki" art that followed soldiers home from the Pacific?) Photos courtesy of Rachel Wright of St. Louis, MO.
	Here's a back view of the tribal mask TV lamp. It's unfortunate that this one is unmarked, as the unique design makes it difficult to match to the products of any particular maker.
	This "Indian on the hunt" number is one of the more common, and interesting, chalkware TV lamps. Photos courtesy of an anonymous donation from Hot Springs, SD.
	The back of the indian lamp reveals the intended location for the light fixture, which was never installed.
	Here's the intended location for the light switch.
	This "hunting indian" design from Holland Mold is a good one, and must have been a hit given the cowboy-and-indian craze that flourished in the 1950s. Photos courtesy of Martin from Hilton, New York.
	This Puccini ballerina TV lamp is one of their best. Photos courtesy of Bid Brothers, Portland, Oregon.
	A look at the back of the ballerina lamp reveals the fiberglass shade used to diffuse the light.
	A close-up shows the detail applied to this Puccini lamp. Painted detail was added not only to the plaster portion, but also to the fiberglass background.
	The Puccini Art Novelty Co. did another variation on the ballerina theme, this one posed with a harp. Photos courtesy of Char Korcz.
	Back view.
	It's not often that TV lamps can be described as provocative, but this vampish lady certainly turns up the heat! This unmarked chalkware lamp has a fiberglass shade to disperse the light. Photos courtesy of Rachael from Quitman, Louisiana.
	Here's the chalkware lamp as viewed from above.
	This Knight/Crusader TV lamp is not one you're going to come across often. Photos courtesy of Joanne from Pennsylvania.
	Here's a close-up of the knight, which includes a foil label that reads: Genuine HOWELL CHINA 22 KT-GOLD HAND DECORATED.
	A look at the back reveals the light fixture and the mounting for the shade.
	In stark contrast to their panther, the Rock O'Stone ballerina TV lamp is the essence of subdued grace. (did I say that?) Photos courtesy of a donor from La Sarre, Quebec.
	Back view of the Rock O'Stone ballerina lamp.
	The ballerina's marking includes the copyright number.
	This Royal Canadian Mounted Police TV lamp is a rare design from Beauceware, produced in 1953. The attention to detail is outstanding! Photos courtesy of Beauceboys, Ottawa, Canada.
	A detail view shows the detailed cold paint applied to the Mountie and his trusty steed. Also in evidence is the creative use of two "shades" to both diffuse the light and draw attention to the mounted figure.
	The Beauceware marking is clear on this one, as is the number "1132".
	Extremely rare, I had heard of this Kron dancers TV lamp long before I ever saw one. This design was nearly scrapped because of breakage concerns, particularly regarding the woman's arms. The man was given bell-bottom pants to enhance stability.
	Back view of the Kron dancers.
	The Kron marking is prominent on the back of the dancers lamp.
	This turquoise Kron dancers TV lamp lacks the decorative white glaze that is on the brown one above. The assortment of colors and glaze variations used on these lamps are unknown. Photos courtesy of Mike O'Briant in Roxboro, NC.
	Back view of the turquoise Kron dancers lamp.
	After acquiring hundreds of ceramic TV lamps, this is my first chalkware lamp. The use of a female matador adds charm to this interesting design. It is marked "Melrose-Lamps Co." on the back.
	Back view of the lady matador TV lamp.
	Good grief, how many TV lamps did Lane & Co. design?! I'm surprised that this beautiful design isn't seen more often. Photos courtesy of Ellaine Feferman of Toronto, Ontario.
	Back view of the Lane boy and dolphin. Wasn't that a Sophia Loren movie?
	Here's a detail of the dolphin-riding boy.
	A theme also used by Lane & Co. on the example shown above, this rare Maddux of California Boy on a Dolphin TV lamp is finished in a glaze with an antique bronze look. Photos courtesy of Chris from Ashton, Illinois.
	Another angle.
	Back view.
	While TV lamps are generally considered to date from the '50s, this Maddux is clearly marked © 1966.
	It looks particularly nice when seen in silhouette.
	This Hedi Schoop comedy-tragedy lamp follows traditional lines, but has a flair that others lack. Rare. Photos courtesy of John Dyer.
	Back view of the Hedi Schoop comedy-tragedy TV lamp.
	This great unmarked chalkware lamp features a tropical motif, a subject that was quite popular in the day.
	Here's a close-up of the exotic, if dusty, native woman.
	The Mt. Rushmore TV lamp from Maddux is one of their little-known products. Photos courtesy of Jim Semonchik of Batavia, Illinois.
	Back view of the Maddux Mt. Rushmore TV lamp.
	As indicated by the marking on the back, the Mt. Rushmore TV lamp was made by Maddux of California, and sculpted by renowned artist Carl Romanelli. Romanelli is known for many publicly displayed sculptures as well as his extensive design work with Metlox. It is a faithful reproduction of the Gutzon Borglum original, located in South Dakota. Quite a pedigree for a humble TV lamp!
	The Vim-O-Lite comedy-tragedy TV lamp isn't one you're apt to trip across every day! Photos courtesy of Gene from Lodi, California.
	The bottom of the comedy-tragedy is marked, "Vim-O-Lite of Hollywood".
	I just love this Royal Haeger lamp! It has a crazy sort of art-deco/nouveau quality, and is finished with a glaze frequently used at Haeger. Photos courtesy of Joe and Roberta Mariner from Northern California.
	Back view of the "deer and nude" TV lamp.
	Unfortunately this lamp no longer has the Haeger label, only this generic UL label.
	When does a TV lamp become a nite-lite? I suspect that Maddux of California marketed this "Little Bo-Peep" lamp as lighting for a child's room, as it would be decidedly odd placed on a television!
	Back view of Maddux's Bo-Peep lamp.
	Although 8 1/2" tall, this Camark dancer is a tiny lamp, with none of the weight and bulk of other TV lamps.
	This lamp was almost certainly fitted a fiberglass shade, as the lamp isn't substantial enough to block the bulb from view. A paper Camark label is visible.
	The bottom shows a second Camark label, this one made of foil.
	This rather uninspired ballerina TV lamp isn't marked, but the homely mug on the dancer looks remarkably similar to the one on the Camark lamp shown above.
	Back view.
	Oriental themes, Oriental women in particular, showed up often as the subject of lamps. This one was made by L.M. Fielack. Photos courtesy of Larry Trexler from Sherrill, N.Y.
	Fiberglass shades were often used to diffuse the light, and helped give designs an atmospheric quality.
	Ballerina TV lamps are not uncommon, but seldom as nice as this example from Favor-Ware.
	Chalkware items often show their age, but this ballerina TV lamp is "new-old stock"...having just emerged from storage, in its original box, since the '60s! Ever seen the fiberglass shade on a TV lamp look this white?
	Here she is in all her glory! I start getting emotional when I see one of these lit-up...snif, snif...
	Haeger made a few TV lamps, but lovely, highly original table lamps were given more attention by the company. This "nude with a fish and turtle" lamp is original indeed! Photos courtesy of Kandess from Fort Worth, Texas.
	The foil Royal Haeger label is still present on the lamp!
	Back view of the fish-hugging nude. (I crack myself up!)
	Unlike most Haeger lamps, this one doesn't have a single-bulb fixture, but instead is equipped with an old-style (very old!) two-bulb affair.
	The Silvestri Bros. used a common Oriental subject for this TV lamp, but added their own twist by incorporating a wishing well. Photo courtesy of John from Bedford, Ohio.
	The Oriental lamp has the Silvestri Bros. marking on the bottom, as well as the patent number.
	This vintage advertisement shows the lamp pictured above. The ad shows the lamp with greenery in place, and it was most likely included with the lamp.
	This lovely Madonna and Child TV lamp is in excellent condition! Photos courtesy of Lin from Gloucester, MA.
	Back view of the Columbia Madonna TV lamp.
	The back is clearly marked Columbia Statuary Inc. © 1966. The year 1966 appears on a large number of Columbia Statuary products.
	This skillfully crafted TV lamp is similar in style to other bust-style lamps. Others can be found that represent oriental or african characters, and they typically have the light projected up through a hat as in this example. It has a foil label on the base that says Rite-Lite Mfg. Co., Chicago, Ill. Photo courtesy of Ed Barr from Westfield, MA.
	Lampcrafts had an extremely tasteful design on their hands with this one. It is a wonderful homage to a prevalent style of the era... a love of all things mysterious and exotic. Photos courtesy of Elaine from Park City, Montana.
	Back view of the lady and her cat!
	As with their sailing ship TV lamps, Lampcrafts wasn't frugal with their application of 22k gold. Such decoration was economically feasible at the time, and many potteries took advantage of the rich luster it provided.
	This example still wears the foil Lampcrafts label.
	Everybody seems to have done a variation on the comedy/tragedy theme, including this one from Hollywood Ceramics. Photos Courtesy of Herb Wanser of Anaheim, California.
	Here's a back view.
	Fortunately, Hollywood Ceramics was quite consistent in the marking of their products.
	Here's a beautiful Maddux design that was obviously the work of a master sculptor. Such asian motifs were commonplace, but seldom were they done with such elegance. Photos courtesy of eBay seller almeriadit.
	Details show the care with which this TV lamp was designed.
	Back view. It is marked 840 Maddux of Calif., Made in USA, 21855-M, but no date is provided.
	Clearly related to the design shown above, this Maddux TV lamp was called the #851 Quan Yin Head.  Photos courtesy of eBay seller rmelera.
	Back view.  The "Quan Yin Head" is 14½" tall.
	Side view.  The white glaze on this lamp was called White Crackle.
	It is marked Maddux of Calif. 851 ©59 Made in USA on the bottom.
	This one has to be the jewel in Ornamental Arts & Crafts crown. Better known for their reverent views of nature, it's obvious that something different is going on here! Seldom was humor used so blatantly in TV lamp design... and to such great effect. Photos courtesy of Linda Knauss of Indianapolis, Indiana.
	I believe these boys have been on their last hunt!
	Back view.
	Note the look of satisfaction. There's no better feeling than returning home from a successful hunt!
	I find this Premco TV lamp fascinating because of the material used in its construction. Whereas other Premco TV lamps are ceramic, this oriental design is plaster, making it a rare example of a pottery manufacturer opting to produce a chalkware product. Photos courtesy of an eBayer from the great state of Maine.
	Here she is all lit-up... real pretty!
	Here's the back of it.

	Betcha haven't seen one of these! This elf TV lamp from Treasure Craft is definitely different, and at 14" tall it's big, too. Photos courtesy of Micahel from Whittier, North Carolina.
	Back view of the Treasure Craft elf. The fixture is missing on this example, but it clearly held an inverted socket in TV lamp fashion. A foil Treasure Craft label is on the bottom.

	Now this is a TV lamp, folks! The woman, hanging onto a rather large fish, poses spectacularly from behind a seashell on this great Haeger design. At 19½" tall, this one would have dwarfed most televisions of the day! Was also made in a table lamp version. Photos courtesy of Char Korcz, Carpentersville, Illinois.
	Here's a look at the back of the "nude with fish" TV lamp.
	The fixture is mounted in the shell, and highlights the woman beautifully.

	This TV lamp from Melrose-Lamps has to be the most charming design ever rendered in plaster. The skill put into sculpting the lamp, and the beautifully executed details, make this one a winner! Photos courtesy of an eBayer from Lebanon, PA.
	The back reveals a small fiberglass shade that casts a glow around the children's legs.
