I have always thought these were really cool. I am a sucker for items that have multiple purposes such as these, they are art and a way to light an area in your home. I tried to find info on “Formed Products Co.”, and unfortunately was unable to find anything out about them. I assume these are from the late 50’s or early 60’s. These are referred to as “reverse painted” scenes on the glass. When you look at the art, it is very similar to paint by number.
I plan to re-paint both these frames. The Asian frame will be black with a gold trim, and the flower frame will be pink with a gold trim.
Here are the first two to start our future collection. Though I don’t like all of them, there are many that have awesome imagery. I plan to hang all of our future collection on one wall or down a hallway and have them wired to one switch. I think it is a cool way to brighten up a home.
Here are a couple we got off of eBay and Etsy, just waiting on them to come in the mail.
This one has lots of pink and aqua….how could it be anything but awesome?!
They made many Asian scenes.
Here are a few I am on the lookout for…
I am seriously diggin’ this one. I hope I can locate one. The imagery is classic.
It appears that there may be 4-5 different Asian ones.
There are also a few “Southern Belle” images.
This one isn’t that common.
