Terrier Perfume Lamp, Made in Japan Circa 1950

Collectibles : Lamps, Lighting : Perfume Lamp

 

Boy just look at this smart dog, wanting only to sit by your side and perfume your air. This is a real find. Made in Japan this sweet pup has a large reservoir for perfume and plenty of air holes to let the fragrance out. At one time these lamps were used to mask the smell of cigarette smoke. This beauty has glass eyes and a very real looking coat. No chips, cracks or crazing on this cute fellow. He does work but will need a new light and wire, readily available from hardware stores or the big guys like Home Depot. At one time he had a protective cover on the bottom but that has gone, I would use this on an upturned china saucer just to be on the safe side. He stands 6 1/2" tall to the tip of his ear. Lovely gift item for the dog lover!
