Gone with the Wind Style Kerosene Lamp

This is a vintage-style kerosene hurricane lamp, often referred to as a 'Gone with the Wind' lamp. It features a bi-colored glass shade with a mint green or celadon tint at the crown and base, transitioning into a frosted milk glass center. The center of the shade is decorated with a transfer-printed floral motif featuring a large orange dahlia or zinnia surrounded by sage green scrolling acanthus leaves. The glass shade is ribbed and sits atop a polished brass-toned gallery. The base consists of a nickel-plated or satin-finished metal fount and pedestal. The metal shows a soft, aged patina and some light surface oxidation consistent with age, likely dating to the mid-20th century (1940s-1960s). The base features a perforated decorative ring at the foot for ventilation. The lamp appears to be in good vintage condition, though it lacks the inner glass chimney. The construction is typical of mass-produced revival pieces from the mid-century period, designed to mimic Victorian lighting styles while prioritizing ornamental value.
