your shade is completely different!
Anyway, Clover lamp company it is American : this is what I found:
Clover Lamp Company designed high quality commerical and residential lamps in the 1960s and 70s and are known for their unusual and Italian-inspired design. Many of their designs take after similar work in Italian lighting firms such Reggiani and Arteluce

Thanks jbtirza
wasn't sure if 'Clover Lamp' was the company or just the name of this particular product. Although I'm a little disappointed to hear that it's only 'Italian inspired' , it's great to uncover some history from what would have otherwise been just a nameless 'retro' lamp.
Can I ask where you get your info? I'd love to dig up even more specs on this product, its other color/material options and how much it originally sold for back then. But again thanks so much for your help.
