Vintage-Style Green Frosted Glass Hurricane Lantern

This item is a decorative hurricane-style lantern or candle shroud crafted from translucent green glass with a frosted or 'sea glass' matte finish. The vessel features a bulbous lower body that tapers into a slender neck before flaring outward at the rim. It is encased in a simple, utilitarian wire frame construction consisting of a thin metal band at the base and a vertical support rib that connects to a circular wire collar around the neck. A arched wire handle is attached to the collar for hanging or carrying. The base of the glass shade features a decorative pattern of small, circular cutout or etched indentations near the bottom rim to allow for airflow if used with a candle. The metal elements appear to be a lightweight steel or aluminum with a dull silver finish. Condition-wise, the glass appears intact without significant cracks, though there is some light surface scuffing visible on the frosted finish and some minor oxidation/wear on the wire handle. This piece likely dates from the late 20th century to the early 21st century and was designed for casual home decor or outdoor patio lighting. The craftsmanship is mass-produced but functional, prioritizing a rustic, coastal aesthetic.
