Behold the TV Lamp

TV lamps were everywhere for about a decade. When television became the centerpiece of the typical household, there was a general belief that watching television without a source of ambient light in the room damaged your eyeballs. So people bought lamps specifically to put on the top of television sets, to turn on while watching for ophthalmological health.

For some reason, they’re usually glazed animals. Sometimes mermaids. Often panthers. Sold! I need one.

The greyhound.

This Asian one is rad.

The panther-lover special.

Holy shit! Not giving the link to this one because it’s mine. Go find your own vintage California pottery TV lamp of Spanish dancers!

Some are pots AND lamps. Dig it.

Lotta wagons, too.
