Q: Several years ago, I purchased a 23-inch table lamp with a bronze base and a leaded glass shade. The red, green, yellow and white glass in the shade creates a floral design. The shade is 18 inches in diameter. The bottom of the base is marked ‘Rainaud 20.’ Any information?

A: H.E. Rainaud Co. made lamps in Meriden, Conn., from about 1916 until 1930. Meriden was also home to Bradley & Hubbard and the Handel Lamp Co., two more-famous manufacturers of art glass lamps. Rainaud table lamps in near-mint condition are valued at $800 or more.
