Many Carder Steuben vases were also made as lamp bases and some vases were drilled as lamps post-production. I was told that this lamp would have been a special order for Crest and was almost certainly originally made as a lamp.
Jansson's granddaughter "Leslie Jansson". Miss Jansson lived and passed away here in Roswell, NM.
This listing is ONLY for the PEGASUS LAMP that is pictured. The lot numbers were #400, #530 & #556.
Of course, Arthur Jansson Jr. Was the son of Arthur Jansson Sr. Who was an important "gaffer" mentioned and photographed many times throughout THE book on Steuben Glass.
We will add a couple photos of some of the personal items of Arthur Jansson Jr. These photos will be the last two photos.... Surely these items were personal pieces of Mr. And handed down to Arthur Jr. And then to his daughter Leslie Jansson.
Leslie was the only child of Arthur Jr. And daughter Leslie were not in the Steuben Art Glass making business AND these pieces pre-date them anyway. Anyone that wants to look up and verify this information is more than welcome to do so. Though we do not have an official document, I believe it is quite obvious as to the origin of the pieces we will be offering. And other members of his family, were quite important figures in the history of Steuben Glass.The item "Ultra Rare Carder era Steuben PEGASUS LAMP Shape #8496 AWESOME PROVENANCE" is in sale since Wednesday, February 27, 2019.
