Royal China & Novelty Co.
The only lamps I've seen from the Royal China & Novelty Co. have been of the traditional sleek panther style. Royal China and Novelty was a Division of Regal China, and had their facility on Archer Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. Regal manufactured products for Jim beam as well as Lemieux China.

value: rarity: Looking like lamps and figurines by Haeger, Lane & Co., Jacquelin and others, this panther by Royal China & Novelty Co. is a sleek, elegant design. The Royal China lamp-only panthers are identical to the planter/lamp variation, except that they lack the protruding planter and the Royal China marking on the back. All of RC's panthers are 21" long. |

value: rarity: Royal China's panther TV lamp/planter is distinctive in that it is based upon the popular panther design, a protruding planter area added to the top. Unlike the lamp-only version, these are clearly marked in the hollow behind the bulb/fixture. |

Found in many colors, this black and gold variation of the Royal China panther is distinctive and unusual. Note how a collar has been implied with creative use of the gold. |
