F & G. Also funny because I found myself looking at a kind of similar lamp online, and discovered it was from Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen's line! (their continuum table lamp)
I do however, like how short and stable "D" looks! Sometimes it's hard to find a shorter lamp for a small table that isn't rounded w/ a smaller bottom. It looks like it could survive an accidental bumping in to. And I really like the square shade.
I like D and G, but am not "in love" with any of them. As in, if someone put them all in front of me and told me I could have one for free, I'd happily walk away with one of those. But if I saw them in a store, I'd probably pass them all by. And I agree with Trixxie...different shades please. :)
D and H, most likely. I liked the colors in both, and the shape of D. But I would have liked to see some of the bases with different shades—cleaner lines.
D and J (but different colors would be cool) D because its different and has a slight chinoiserie nod. J because its a classic "ginger jar" shape and is timeless. E and K are also great alabaster type shapes. I agree with the others that double gourds are ovah. I like B's lucite base, and I can see C in a variety of awesome rooms. Okay, so everything but double bulbs.
I saw bookends like this in Shanghai before I moved away and didn't buy them. I've kicked myself for it all the way to Bangkok. If I ever see them again, even in lamp form, I'm snatching them up.
A, D, and H. I probably wouldn't buy A in a(n American) store, though, because I always feel stupid buying ethnic-y things when I've never even been to that region of the world. I have a couple of interesting lamps from when my dad was stationed in Hong Kong in the '70s, and I would have loved to acquire a couple A's from something like that though...
Maybe E. I'm not really wild about any of them. If I had inherited one of them I would like it fine, but I can't see myself choosing any of these myself.
I love the shape of F, G, L. Lovely curves, those lamps, and the color on F is lovely.
I have a hard time getting behind the foo dogs, though (A). Trendy though they may be, they seem too "of the moment". I'd rather invest in something more timeless, less intentionally ugly.

L, H, E and in that order!
F or H...I think I'm drawn to F's color but H's shape...and also I would grab different shade.
I, C, J
I like L the best, but I love the shape of D, if it was a diff. color i'd def buy that one!
I only like F and K. I think...
Honey, I am all double-gourded out myself.
Oooh, C & L are both fabulous choices.
i am with anon...over the gourds. none of the others knock my socks off either.
if i had to choose i would choose K or E with a different shade.
I like the bases of F & G - they remind me of a djinn bottle. I feel that all I need to do is rub the lamp and all my wishes will come true:)
I love "G".
That's all...
Love C (I have an Asia-inspired office), and like H
Need a pair of something for bedside tables...
G, J, B (in that order)
I like D
C, D, and E fo sho.
F & G.

I vote "H". :)

I'm embarrassed to say that I love each and every one of them and would take them all home if I could.

D, E, K
D is by far my fave.
D and H, most likely. I liked the colors in both, and the shape of D. But I would have liked to see some of the bases with different shades—cleaner lines.
D and J (but different colors would be cool) D because its different and has a slight chinoiserie nod. J because its a classic "ginger jar" shape and is timeless. E and K are also great alabaster type shapes. I agree with the others that double gourds are ovah. I like B's lucite base, and I can see C in a variety of awesome rooms. Okay, so everything but double bulbs.
A and I. To the extent that I'm now wondering if a trip to china town and the lamp store is in order to create A.
mm, B C I
D or J. Really like that turquoise. Or something mirrored...
A!
I saw bookends like this in Shanghai before I moved away and didn't buy them. I've kicked myself for it all the way to Bangkok. If I ever see them again, even in lamp form, I'm snatching them up.
No, no, no on A & C. I hate foo dogs so much.
I love F.
C, D, K, or L. And maybe I with a different shade.
D, H, L.
in that order. no color or shade changes necessary.
It's F for me but with a different shade.
Oh my gosh...A, A and A.
The others are so expected....cute but not very unique.
Meh.
I'd go with G. I'm a sucker for green.
G or L with K's shade
B, F and L ... love the shapes and balance along with colors.
e and f!!!!!!!!!!!! love those!!!! for real. not just saying it.
I love C !
b, e, h
A, D, and H. I probably wouldn't buy A in a(n American) store, though, because I always feel stupid buying ethnic-y things when I've never even been to that region of the world. I have a couple of interesting lamps from when my dad was stationed in Hong Kong in the '70s, and I would have loved to acquire a couple A's from something like that though...
I'll just take all of them ;)
I'm going with A. Love the quirkyness of them.
My votes are B, E, K and L.
F or E
E L
I like E and F...
Love this! I will take one of A, D, F & G. :)
D, and maybe L.
D and secretly in love with C
Can't do the stacked gourds because everybody and their teenage niece has at least two.
They always remind me of my own pearish-gourd-type shape anyhow. No one needs a reminder of that.
love the foo dogs... so A... and L.
I have F in my master bedroom. 2 of F actually. They are already on board in my household so that means I'm partial.
Totally H.
G & L, I love!
I vote for a gourd lamp anyday.
G and J. Love the colors.
L and E if it were a different color...
A, C, E.
G has my vote.
B, F, G
I like them all - but none well enough to rush out and buy for my place.
A, G and I.
I could work with D.
bahaha!! Oh Ron Burgundy, how I love thee :)
L, H, B :)
P.S. What about L with a drum shade?
Maybe E. I'm not really wild about any of them. If I had inherited one of them I would like it fine, but I can't see myself choosing any of these myself.
A, D, G & L (all with different shades!)
I think all of them except for A and C would come with me! Good luck with your store! If I lived anywhere near you I would come delight in it.
D.
C, F, G , J - also in order!
B, C, F, H, I, L....very nice!
K
G and I'll take 2 please.
ps I have awesome taste. Ask everyone.
A,E,G,H
Not many people selected A...but I love em!
H and J are coming with me I think...
E, H, I, K.... in no order.
Except if E had a black shade... then I'd be all over that!
F and G please.
Pass. If you forced me, C, with a different shade.
I like F with H's shade. I'm really over white lamp shades!
G, F, L. But I don't like any of the lamp shades. I'd rather have just a clean drum shade.
A, L & B, but I would change the finial on A to a more neutral. Best of luck with the shop, wish I lived closer!
I'd pick C and swap in a black shade.
B, E & H!!
Most certainly L & then I'd ponder over A & D. But I like A for bookends which I've been seeing around...
A and C, maybe K with a taller, more interesting shade.
F, G, H and L with a drum shade please. :)
I like C, G and H the best but they are all pretty great.
E, G, H!
I.
J
I have a lamp very similar to H in another colour. I'd like J in the colour of G. I also like F and G.
I like A, C D and J but I don't like the shades.
A, F, and G, but that's about it.
I love the shape of F, G, L. Lovely curves, those lamps, and the color on F is lovely.
I have a hard time getting behind the foo dogs, though (A). Trendy though they may be, they seem too "of the moment". I'd rather invest in something more timeless, less intentionally ugly.
E. but not a fan of any of the shades.
E, K, H in that order (I'm a traditionalist when it comes to lamps- so that they can move into any room seamlessly).
Are you going to give us the results of your poll?
H
A & J, although I prefer round shades! love all the colours
J!
G, I guess... but I'm not really wowed by any other them in particular. I'd also probably change the shade if I were to buy G.
None of them really jump out at me. If I had to choose one...H
d
D
I like A, C, D, and I. They stand out while the others seem very common.
E, G, H, J, L!
I'm not in love with any of them, but if I had to choose I would take B.
G L H
A, C, E through I, and K. But A, E, and K are my absolute favorites. Pick only one? Sure, that'd be K.
Hope your store is doing well! I hope to open a shop of my own someday. :)
A, B, L.
G & L. I am in love.
Dear lamp D,
Where have you been all my life?
Please come home with me.
