Cut Glass Table Lamp

This item is a decorative table lamp, primarily constructed from highly cut and faceted clear glass that resembles cut crystal, mounted on a metallic base. The body of the lamp features an ornate, repeating pattern of starbursts and swirling fan-like cuts, characteristic of brilliant-cut glass. The shape of the glass body is hourglass-like, narrowing slightly in the middle before flaring out at both the top and bottom. The base of the lamp is a polished, reflective metallic material, likely brass or a brass-plated metal given its golden hue, which shows some visible wear, including minor tarnishing or scratching. The top of the glass body transitions into a similar metallic component, consistent with the base, where the lightbulb socket would typically be housed (though not visible in the image). A thin, golden-colored metal rod or pipe runs vertically through the center of the glass body, connecting the top and bottom metallic components. The electrical cord, which appears to be a beige or light cream color, is visible coiled on the surface next to the lamp, extending from its base. The cord seems to be in fair condition, though its precise length and the condition of the plug are not visible. A blue price sticker or label is affixed to the side of the glass body, indicating it may be from a retail or thrift store. The overall condition appears to be good for its age, with no immediately apparent chips or cracks in the glass, though detailed inspection would be needed. The intricate cutting suggests a mid-20th-century style, possibly between the 1940s and 1970s, aiming for an elegant and somewhat classical aesthetic.
