Crafted by the renowned L.E. Smith Glass Company of Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, this complete, two-piece matching set is an exceptional find for the serious glass antiquarian or discerning interior designer.

The heavy, figural base is masterfully sculpted to depict three alert Scottish Terrier puppies peeking over the rim of a realistically molded woven basket. Balanced beautifully above is the elusive, matching bell-shaped shade, which features elegant vertical ribbing leading down to geometric raised-relief panels capturing proud, sitting Scottie dogs.

Unlike most surviving examples where the fragile shade was lost or damaged over the last century, this immaculate set has been flawlessly preserved. When lit, the frosted satin glass beautifully diffuses ambient light into a soft, romantic rosy glow that highlights the extraordinary textural details of the craftsmanship. Perfect for an eclectic nursery, an elegant vanity desk, or an upscale library vignette. See less
