I bought this lamp at a flea market a while back in Washington state. The lady I bought it from had zero information on it. I haven't found any markings on it. I do not know anything about who made it or what year. I feel like its from the 60's. Every antique store I've been into I ask about it. I show them a picture and they can't seem to help me. I've tried google. I get nothing. It's quite unique! The glass bulb part is all one piece and the light bulb is inside that. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

It is described here as a 1960s pop art table lamp for 325.00

Thanks! I appreciate it! Maybe someone else knows the manufacturer? It's a super neat lamp! I paid a considerable amount less for it than that! Score!

I tried to find it. I found another one in black but the owner did not know either. I was in the lighting industry for almost thirty years but this predates my career by at least ten years. There was a store in New York in the late 60s and early 70s that sold big everything. You could buy a giant toothbrush that served as a bathroom shelf and a table made from a huge Coca Cola bottle cap.
I will keep looking.

So far I have found four of them on line. The dating is all the same and I thing the 60s is correct from the colors. Here is another orange one like yours
