Help needed to identify a lamp
Following on from the SwissTony's thread about identifying a retro toy, I have my own quest I could do with some help with.
It's a nightlight / lamp from the 70's, made of porcelain / china. It has no identifiable markings on or in it. I don't have it here with me, it's in my parents house.
They cannot recall where they purchased it from, but I'd take a guess it was probably Cheeseman's (Which turned into House of Fraser and then Army & Navy, or the other way round) or Hoopers (or whatever it was called before that) sometime between 1974 and 1980.

Funny guy It is very 70's, hardly shocking though, as that is the time period when I was given it.
At least I'm not alone in having had one then, and it was for that exact same reason too.
I was just curious about it's origin and to see if it came as part of a collection. As can probably be told, it's been around for a while and when I was young it was a source of comfort to have the light shining through the night. Who knows, perhaps I might want my son to have a nightlight and passing this down might be quite nice. Obviously it's not to everyone's taste, but he might like it.
