Sculpture Ware Co.
I've only come across a couple of the chalkware TV lamps by Sculpture Ware Co., the panther and Last Supper shown below, but there's certainly others. I've found no information on this company.
|
value: rarity: This elegant Last Supper TV lamp by Sculpture Ware is similar to a Helmscene in that it uses a framed transparent image. Photos courtesy of Sara from Bridgeport, Connecticut. |

It is marked Sculpture Ware Co. 1955. |
|
The Last Supper image is marked Copyright 1934 N. G. Basevi. Funny, I thought Leonardo DaVinci painted that one! |
|
value: rarity: Sculpture Ware's panther is rare and, well... weird! The purpose of the protrusion at the top (pointing to the right) is a mystery. |
