These Capiz lamps were sold by many lighting companies in Europe, mainly in the sixties. In Germany these lamps were sold by Rausch. They became very popular thanks to Verner Panton who used these shells for the FUN chandeliers he designed in 1964 for the Lueber company from Switzerland. Flower chandeliers such as this one were made long before.
