This vintage Aladdin electric boudoir lamp is crafted from genuine Alacite glass, a proprietary ivory-toned material developed by the Mantle Lamp Company of America in the late 1930s. The elegant design features a neoclassical urn shape with vertical fluting and delicate scrolled handles on a round, footed base. True to its historic formula, the opalescent glass contains trace amounts of uranium, causing the entire body to emit a distinct green glow when placed under a UV or blacklight.The lamp has been re-wired using a period-appropriate, twisted cloth-covered cord. The original brass socket and internal hardware have been retained to maintain the item's authentic vintage look. This piece serves as an exceptional accent light for antique collections, bedrooms, or living spaces, offering a striking balance of classic design and unique mid-century science.

The Mantle Lamp Company of America, widely known for its "Aladdin" brand name, was founded in Chicago in 1908 and became legendary for its highly efficient kerosene mantle lamps. As household electricity expanded, the company successfully transitioned into electric lighting, introducing Alacite glass in 1938. This specialty glass formula became a hallmark of their premium lamps throughout the 1940s, celebrated for its smooth texture and unique optical properties before manufacturing regulations changed the formula post-WWII.
