The lamp features an elegant candlestick column design adorned with molded leaf detailing that rises from a sturdy, ribbed circular base. It has been re-wired with a period-appropriate, twisted cloth-covered cord. A beautiful example of mid-century lighting design, this lamp is perfect for a desk, console table, or bedside nightstand. A feature of this specific piece is its ability to glow a vibrant neon green when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. This is due to the inclusion of small amounts of uranium oxide in the original glass mixture, a common practice among early 20th-century glassmakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aladdin Mantle Lamp Company, originally founded in 1908 in Chicago, Illinois, is widely celebrated for its high-quality home lighting products. While famous for its non-electric kerosene lamps, the company expanded into electric lighting and innovative glassware production during the mid-20th century. Aladdin introduced its proprietary Alacite glass formula in 1938, using uranium as a colorant until 1942, when the U.S. government restricted the material for the World War II war effort. Because post-war production formulas omitted this ingredient, authentic glowing pieces like this lamp are highly prized by collectors for their historical significance, craftsmanship, and unique properties.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mantle Lamp Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54387079315766,"sku":"0826004","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/9799\/1990\/files\/VintageAladdinAlaciteGlassTableLampLeafColumnDesign1940s1_2d12a4ff-a68d-49f7-9a65-40f62f4304c7.png?v=1786310309","url":"https:\/\/classicbrasslighting.com\/products\/vintage-aladdin-alacite-glass-table-lamp-leaf-column-design-1940s","provider":"Classic Brass Lighting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
