Hi Everyone,
I have a mystery I'm trying to solve, lol, about a set of "tabletop" style lamps I ordered *maybe* by Valerie Parr Hill, circa 2020 or 2021 I believe, but am having a hard time finding all the original info for them - At the time, they came in Sets of 2, and in various colors along with bronze possibly, mine were in a shade of blue, and I also ordered another set in white or off white - I recently had the pull chain break completely off one of my lamps, ugh, which is a big disappointment - but, trying to figure out if they were indeed VPH - posting a picture of the set I think they were, unfortunately it appears they're no longer available on QVC from what I can see - I have contacted Social Care Team but they're having a hard time finding my actual order - Thanks y'all for any help!
To be honest, what I'm trying to see, and reason for my post is to see if anyone remembers these lamps, and remembers them coming in various colors- Thanks so much!!

I see them on YouTube. Go to the 1 minute mark. It aired around January 20 2021 and after. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSnvxdK3wO0

@DooneyGal2    If you think they're A Valerie product, why don't you contact her on her Facebook page?

What do you want to know about them?

@Kachina624 

I'm hoping to find out if others also had an issue of the pull cord (to turn on and off the light) coming right out of the lamp, with gentle use / pull of the cord (ie, I didn't 'yank' at it real hard) - unfortunately, due to it no longer being available, of course there aren't any reviews that you can see. I actually was shocked at the quality of this item, surely wasn't up to VPH standards IMO.

I've had many table lamps over the years (with a pull cord), and never had this happen, ugh!
I'd possibly consider ordering another one and hope it was a one time fluke, since I really did like the look and weight, of the lamp, it's too bad it's no longer available but that's to be expected with only order of the year items.

Hi!

I 'm about as mechanical as a housefly, but I just Googled "Is it hard to fix a pullchain on a lamp?"  and apparently it is not, and you can buy the parts you need on Amazon.

Now, easy or not, I would probably find someone who at least had a clue and would give them a few bucks to do it for me.

Yes @DooneyGal2those are Valerie Parr Hill. I've not had a problem with mine, but I seldom turn them on. A few weeks ago she had a set of buffet lamps with a slightly different base.

I think it's simple to replace a pull chain mechanism. See if you can fine some YouTube videos that can show you how. Parts can be found at Home Depot for around $5 to $10.

Yes.  I have them.  In black.  Got them a couple of years ago.  I have not had an issue with the pull chain but mine are in the foyer and a rarely turn them on.  If there is a lighting store by you, they may be able to fix it for you.

 I do remember the lamps of VPH  in many colors. I think they were a TSV.

 Can't you pull up your  purchase on the website  from 2021 ?

[skatting44]

 Yes, these were VPH TSV  Urn style buffet lamp listed for 21  Jan 2021  set for $49.98

 they can't pull up your purchase history ?  I keep my receipts  for all purchases anywhere , in case something turns out defective

I purchased this set of Valerie lamps.  I have them in my foyer and they get turned on every evening.  I was afraid that the pull chain would break from constant use.  I plugged the lamps into a remote control set up just like you would for a Christmas tree.
