Spoke to lady of vintage age that I have ceramics classes with. She said she used to make these lamps years ago. She recalled the resin being very smelly (but of course). She said the resins were purchased from a paint store. She had classes, i think she said, at macarthur park. They would make them outside. She specifically recalled making the grape bunch lights, having a glass mold to pour resin into. That seems odd to me, do not know how that would work. She pointed me in the direction of another lady who teaches still today, that used to make the lamps. I hope to contact her and pick her brain. If all this info is on the up and up, it would explain why there is no real info on a company that made them. They were all made by people for hobby and home.
