Vintage Aladdin Alacite Glass Ionic Column Table Lamp 1940s

This elegant vintage table lamp was manufactured by the Mantle Lamp Company under their famous Aladdin brand line. It features a classic Greek Ionic column style, crafted from their signature Alacite glass. The ivory-colored glass body showcase a beautifully sculpted square stepped base, scroll-like top details, and a distinct spiral fluted stem. For safety and immediate use, the lamp has been fully re-wired using a premium, period-appropriate cloth-covered electrical cord that matches its historical design. The Mantle Lamp Company of America was founded in 1908 in Chicago, Illinois, and quickly gained international fame for its "Aladdin" kerosene lamps, which revolutionized home lighting with their exceptionally bright, clean burn. As electricity became standard across American households, the company skillfully shifted its expertise into high-quality electric lamps and innovative art glass formulas. Their proprietary Alacite glass, introduced in the late 1930s, became one of their most celebrated achievements, recognized by collectors today for its distinctive, silky opalescent finish.
