$125.00 whiskey bottle lamp
$125.00 was the lowest price I seen for a BayRum
whiskey bottle lamp. The top price was $149.00 for a similar bottle lamp. Where
was this?
Several weeks ago I attended a Tampa Bay area outdoor
Art show. This was not an Arts & Craft Show that we are all familiar with.
This was a rather high end juried Art show with lots of jewelry, Paintings,
etc.. I would guess that there were about a 100 or more artist displaying their
art work. The one booth that caught my eye was an artist displaying Lighted
Whiskey Bottle Lamps. I could not believe the price she was asking for her
Whiskey Bottle Lamps. Most often lighted wine or whiskey bottle lamps sell between
$25.00 and $40.00. Keep in mind that this was a juried show with small rental
space at $450.00 for the two day weekend show.
I spoke briefly with the artist. She was pleased with
the show and said that she had sold eight whiskey bottle lamps. She sold only
whiskey bottle lamp and did not show any wine lighted wine bottles.
What made here whiskey bottle lamps so attractive was
that they were mounted on top of wooden cigar boxes. The cigar boxes made an
eye catching solid base for here lamps. The lamp shade often would complement
the color on the cigar box label. The lamp socket was a push threw 3-way light
socket. A white lamp cord went up from the cigar box to the socket. Her lamps
had not additional decorations on them.
I enjoyed visiting for a short time with the whiskey
bottle lamp artist and was impressed with here work.
