So, I found this lamp, gwtw style at the last day of an estate sale. Not too sure why it was still there---maybe it is junk---but it is just beautiful! Can only get the top portion to light up, but there is a click when turning it on that makes me think the bottom was meant to light up as well. Can't find any mark, not even on the base, that would indicate the maker. Beautiful pink flowers surrounded by a green "ribbon. Raised roses and leaves on the glass. Looked on ebay trying to figure out if I overpaid, and left even more confused! Anybody recognize it?
A couple of lamp manufacturers made very similar ones.Not sure who made yours.These usually fetch around $100.Very nice lamp and yes the bottom should light up.It probably just needs a bulb.

Just searched and it seems this was made by Phoenix Glass in the sixties.I found it on Ebay and Worthpoint but CW wouldn't let me paste.

You know, I did see the lamp on ebay and saw what it was selling for and just could not believe it! The folks that held the estate sale usually bring in antique dealers to help them price the stuff. Then, all of the store owners/pickers usually camp out in the early am to get in the place first and have their pick of stuff. This particular sale had hundreds of people show up, so I figured it was not worth anything when it was still there this morning. I think the 17.00 I paid was WELL worth it! Thanks Hedge for all of the great info!!!!!!!!
17 bucks VERY well spent!!! These are beautiful !!
Very nice !! It must have been your lucky day .
Thanks Mcgarrett50!
I have two of these and bought them back in the 1970's at K-mart for about $28 each. I have seen them sell on ebay and sellers have called the "Fenton" which I don't think they are. I broke the globe to one of them many years ago and finally found a replacement on Ebay last year. The bottom has a night light bulb in it to light just the base.
Appreciate the info Anne and the loves too huronia and scandinavian!
Hello, Nice Lamp and what a deal you got. I have a pair of these and one is still marked on the top light base Phoenix Lamps Inc. Model 906 Wild Rose Top bulb not to exceed 100 watts. If you look on the underside of the base you should see a round hole for the lower bulb. I hope the small clip in fixture is still there. It takes a small C7 night light. If you are missing parts for the lower lamp I can take some pictures for you so you can figure out what you need.

2 years ago I got lamp as gift, and chimney was missing still try to find it. Very beautiful lamp. Any idea where to get this chimney.
If you are just missing the chimney they are not that hard to find. I would start on eBay and go from there. Chimneys are fairly standard with only a few different sizes. When you find one just make sure to match up the measurements.
Good Luck.
