This striking lamp by Houzex Glass exemplifies the accessible elegance of Depression-era lighting. Molded in jadeite glass, the design features stacked geometric tiers and vertical fluting that taper upward in a stylized obelisk form. The scalloped base echoes ziggurat motifs popular during the height of the Art Deco movement. Sold widely through catalogs and five-and-dime retailers, this model reflects Houze Glass Company’s aim to bring fashionable design to everyday American homes.
