Literature: A similar lamp is illustrated and discussed in The Glass
Industry In Sandwich, Vol. 2, by Raymond E. Barlow and Joan E.
Kaiser, Schiffer Publishing, p. 61, plate 2035. The text mentions
because of its unusual depth “it is by far the rarest of the cup
plate lamps,” and according to Ruth Webb Lee and James H.
Rose in American Glass Cup Plates “...the plate without the lamp
is rare, even in clear glass ... and believe it was made only briefly
because the shape may have been impractical.”
