Vintage Hand-Painted Iris Milk Glass Table Lamp with Embossed Metal Base

This is a vintage table lamp featuring a hand-painted milk glass body depicting irises, mounted on an embossed metal base. The lamp's central body is an elongated ovoid shape crafted from opaque white (milk) glass, adorned with vibrant hand-painted iris flowers in shades of purple and blue, with green foliage, against a soft, light green to white gradient background. The painting style appears to be freehand and somewhat impressionistic, giving the flowers a naturalistic yet artistic feel. Above the milk glass body, a white ceramic or painted metal column, possibly meant to mimic a candle, rises, topped by a brass-toned fitting. The lamp is completed with a light-colored, possibly cream or off-white, fabric lampshade with a somewhat wrinkled or textured surface, showing some minor dust or discoloration along the edges and surface. The base of the lamp is constructed from a dark-toned metal, likely cast iron or a similar alloy, featuring intricate embossed or molded scrollwork and floral motifs, giving it a somewhat ornate and classical aesthetic. The metal base exhibits visible wear, including areas where the dark finish has chipped or rubbed off, revealing a lighter metallic color underneath, consistent with age and use. The electrical cord is visible, indicating it is a wired lamp. The overall style suggests an age from the early to mid-20th century, possibly Art Nouveau or Art Deco influence in the floral design, translated into a more traditional lamp form. The craftsmanship of the hand-painted glass is a notable feature, indicating a degree of artistic effort and making each lamp unique.
