both lamps were found in a book full of vintage stuff

conclution about fish lamp research

In any of the fish lamps of my research i can see special attention in the scale detail of the fish body. There is no relation between light and scales, light and fish form. I can said that their function is more as an sculptural decoration than a lamp product.

This is one of my porpuses in this project. Scales and form related with light aaaaand maybe not sculptural, but beautiful piece of forniture or decoration.

A small part of China comes to the Buddle Arts Centre and Tynemouth Station.

2004 is the year of the Monkey - so what's with the fish?
Fish, particularly the revered carp (a very close relation to the domestic goldfish) have a significant association with the Chinese New Year Festivities.
