Hand-Painted Gone-With-The-Wind Style Cased Glass Lamp Shade

This is a vintage bulbous-shaped cased glass lampshade, commonly associated with 'Gone With The Wind' style hurricane lamps. The shade features a characteristic opal-white milk glass interior with a hand-painted exterior. The design showcases a large, vibrant yellow cabbage rose as the central focal point, flanked by smaller purple floral accents and muted pink sprigs. The greenery consists of lush, varied shades of forest and sage green leaves that frame the floral composition. The top of the shade features a distinct pie-crust or ruffled crimped rim with a deep green gradient tint that fades into the white body. The overall shape is a squat, wide globe, typical of late 19th to early 20th-century Victorian revival lighting. Regarding condition, the painted surface appears mostly intact with minimal visible loss, though there are minor surface scuffs consistent with age. No significant chips or cracks are visible on the upper ruffled rim, which is often a high-wear area. The craftsmanship suggests a mid-20th-century production, likely by a manufacturer such as Fenton or Consolidated Glass, known for high-quality decorative hand-painted glassware. The piece exhibits a soft matte finish on the painted areas, contrasting with the smooth glass texture.
