  • Kathy stated the following about her Carafe lamps, “The following quantities and colors were made: rose 11, chartreuse 10 – one of these was made with permission for the FCOA convention in 1998, seamist 16, periwinkle blue 15, sapphire 20, persimmon 26, turquoise 18, apricot 6. There were also a few carafe lamps made with my Fiesta® cow on it – looks like 7 of those. There were also some lamps and shades made that were exclusive for conventions and/or clubs… The majority of the lamps were signed and dated 1997 and 1998, but it does look like I made a few in 1999.”
