CHARLES EDWARD GREEN Manufacturer 25 Ely Place London E.C. do hereby

I intend making a lamp for decorative purposes in the following manner.
I take an ordinary dish-bowl or vase for holding ferns or flowers inside which I fix
a small collar or socket of glass porcelaine or any other suitable material, or else the
socket can be manufactured in the bowl &c. in the first instance so as to be in one
piece, this then forms a description of candle stick, in which I propose placing
a candle with any ordinary candle shade support to hold the shade otherwise

candle works up by means of a spring can be enamelled to represent an ordinary
candle, any candle shade can then be placed on the support the whole then forming a
complete lainp.

Novelties in Lamps.
I, CHARLES EDWARD GREEN, Manufacturer, 25 Ely Place, London, E.C. do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to an arrangement or method of combining with any cup, or
equivalent shaped dish, bowl, or vase, now used for holding ferns or flowers, a small
collar or socket of glass, porcelain, or other suitable material as a candle holder, so
that the article in its combined form has the double advantage of being a flower bason
and a candlestick for an ordinary candle, or for the tube in which a spring is fitted
for forcing the candle up to a nozzle as it becomes consumed.
Any plain or fancy shade can be carried by the nozzle for concentrating the light,
or for obtaining an ornamental effect, which coupled with an ornamental bason or
flower holder, a very handsome article for table, side-board, fire-place, or mantle, or
bracket, is readily produced.
The candle holder, or socket within the flower holder is preferably made separately
and secured in position by a waterproof cement but it may be moulded with the flower
holder, and instead of a candle being fitted in the socket, an oil lamp can be employed
if the base be made to fit the socket and a shade can be affixed on the lamp similarly
to that on the candle nozzle.
The annexed drawings will give the idea of what constitutes my invention.
In Figure 1, A represents a fern or flower holder of an ornamental character, and
such as is usually produced in white glazeware. It shows a young girl dipping one of
her feet in a bath, her body serving as a handle by which the article can be moved
from one place to another.
At Figure 2, B is a socket of any desirable material, say, glass or porcelain moulded
to shape with a plain unglazed, or slightly roughened bottom for the adhesion of a
cement or plaster, but preferably an elastic glue made pliable by heat. This glue,
after the bason and socket are warmed, can be applied and the socket B be fixed in
position in the bason and it becomes fixed when the cement is "set." This will be

with flowers, at Figure 3, for the reception of a candle tube D, the lower end of which
has a conical shaped fluted ferrule E, such as rubber for obtaining a firm grip to the
socket B to hold the tube and candle upright, or an ordinary candle with a short
ferrule or holder E of any kind can be fitted in the socket B, or the stem of an oil
lamp can be arranged to fit the socket B.
In Figure 1, I have represented a fancy shade G on the top of the candle Lube D,
it being carried by the nozzle F by which the candle proper is held in the tube D.
The light is then always at the same level.
If an ordinary candle be used, a nozzle can be fitted over the top of the
candle, in which case, the nozzle and shade would lower as the candle is
consumed.
The examples shown on the annexed drawings only illustrate my invention, and
instead of the socket B being cemented in the bowl, bason, dish or vase it may
be part thereof.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is: :-
1. The combination flower holder A and candle or lamp holder B as an article
for decorative purposes, substantially as exemplified by the annexed drawings.
2. The fixing of a candle or lamp socket in a flower dish, bowl, or vase, as and
for the purposes described.
