L.E. Smith Moon and Stars Bobeche Fairy Lamp Turquoise Blue Glass Middle Tier Replacement 1950s 1960s
$34.99
This is a turquoise blue L.E. Smith Moon and Stars fairy lamp bobeche, the plain middle tier that joins a pedestal base to a patterned dome shade.
The glass is clean, with no chips or cracks along the rim or around the center knob, and the turquoise color runs even and bright from edge to edge.
L.E. Smith made the Moon and Stars line in pressed glass, generally dated to the 1950s through the 1970s, and collectors know the pattern for the raised moon and star motifs on the outer pieces. This center tier carries none of that pattern, so it is easy to mistake for a lid once it is off the lamp, when its real job is to sit between the base and the dome shade.
