My girlfriend just gave me this lamp for Christmas and I'm interested if anyone knows anything about it. There is no label or date on it. It stands about 33 inches tall, so it's pretty big. The lamp shade looks to be about 1960s and while the tiki is made to look like wood, it feels like some kind of ceramic. The lamp is real heavy too. Check it out: Thanks for the input.

I have a tiki just like that in my yard. I got it at Ocianic Arts and I know they make lamps out of these as well as the Maoi I, and some other T.C.er's, got there. I'm 99% sure this is where it is from and not vintage. Where did she get it? [ Edited by: laney on 2002-12-25 02:02 ] |

Actually she got it at the old Toes on the Nose store on Thalia Street in Laguna Beach. |

An easy way to tell if something is vintage is to look at the wiring and socket. Not exact as many are rewired. They sell lamp shades at O.A. too including some sweet tapa shades. [ Edited by: laney on 2002-12-25 14:18 ] |

Al, you've done it again. Thanks for the insight and the pic. And I knew that I'd take some for that orange comment.... |
