Akro Agate Slag Glass Lamp

This is a vintage electric tea-caddy style table lamp, often referred to as a silhouette lamp, featuring slag glass panels. These decorative items were highly popular in the mid-20th century, typically produced between the 1930s and 1950s. The glass panels are likely produced by the Akro Agate Company, which was renowned for its marbled 'slag' glass patterns used in everything from marbles to household decorative items.

The base and frame are typically made of pot metal or cast iron with a bronze or copper-toned patina. These lamps were often sold by various distributors or local lighting companies that sourced the glass components from specialized manufacturers. Because this is an antique/vintage item, it is no longer in mass production, and currently exists primarily in the secondary collector's market.
