Pairpoint Lamp enthusiasts will recognize the lamp shown above as the rare line having a decorated glass base that matches the decorated glass shade. Most commonly seen, and probably the most popular, is the Seagull Design. The lamp is catalogued as C3069.

The lamp base to the left is what is in The Frost Collection. The lamp to the right is what it is supposed to be when it has its shade. Thus, the reason for this post.

If anyone out there has the shade without a base, we offer our base for sale. If anyone out there has the shade for sale, we would like the opportunity to purchase it. Either way is OK for us, but wouldn't it be nice to get each part back together again?

Does Anybody Faithfully Touch Up The Reverse Painte Puffy Miniature Lamp Glass?

I think that is a personal decision, but it is unlikely that a repair won't go unnoticed. Instead of the shade being original with a touch of paint loss, it will be considered as repaired. I think your value would hold up better without any attempt at touching up. Personally, I would not consider a touchup. I believe in conservation which allows critical repairs for utility reasons without erasing the history of the piece. Marion
