Bronze-clad (is) a manufacturing technique whereby a skin of bronze was made to adhere to a plaster form through the process of electro-plating. A handful of companies used this method in the early 1900s to make decorative household objects that had the look, feel and heft of solid bronze yet still was affordable by the middle class. One of those companies was Kathodian Bronze Works of NYC. They used the trade name ArtBronz which appears, along with the initials KBW, on all their items. Kathodian was one of the earliest to use the electro-forming method. I made the art glass shade in my glass blowing studio. I acquired this piece with a handsome hoard of lamps and period parts from established antiquities dealers over the years for my lighting business.
