Max and Mary Wiese Aladdin lamp collection

Model No. 12 lampModel No. 12 lamp with windmill painted on shade

The Aladdin company produced a series of shades with handpainted landscapes, including this one of a Dutch windmill. The majority of it is “reverse painting” — the artist painted on the inside of the shade. However some of the boughs of the trees were painted on the outside because they occurred on the seams of the glass shade.
