Vintage Milk Glass Hurricane Table Lamp with Floral Decals

This is a vintage hurricane-style table lamp, primarily constructed from milk glass with brass and cast metal accents. The overall color scheme is cream/off-white for the glass, complemented by dark blue, brown, and light blue floral decals. The lamp features a two-piece milk glass design: an upper, ruffled-edge shade that tapers downwards, and a bulbous lower base. Both sections of the milk glass are adorned with a repeating pattern of circular medallions, each containing a delicate floral arrangement in shades of brown, dark blue, and light blue, set against a background of thin, intricate brown lines. A distinctive scalloped border in dark blue outlines these medallions. Additional decorative banding, comprising interconnected ovals or scallops, encircles the base of the upper shade and the neck of the lower base in dark blue and brown tones. The upper shade also contains a clear glass chimney, typical of hurricane lamps, extending above the ruffled edge. \n\nThe milk glass sections are joined by a brass-toned metal fixture, which also supports the upper shade. The base of the lamp is a dark, possibly bronzed or cast iron, ornate pedestal with a textured, almost antique finish, showing some visible patina and wear consistent with age, suggesting it is a cast metal piece. The condition of the milk glass appears good, with no obvious cracks or chips visible from the provided image. The presence of the clear glass chimney indicates it functions as an electric lamp, designed to mimic the aesthetic of an oil lamp. The style suggests a mid-20th century Americana or traditional decor piece, likely from the 1950s-1970s. The craftsmanship is indicative of mass-produced decorative lighting of that era, with attention to detail in the decaling and the decorative metal base. No visible manufacturer's marks or signatures are discernible from the image.
