Question

lamp
Can you please tell me anything about this vintage milk glass and brass lamp? It has what appears to be fruit and/or flowers in a milk glass ring around the base and a milk glass globe in the center of the post. I couldn't find any distinguishing marks. I have uploaded a picture... but also have the following pictures which can be viewed.

Answer
Hi, this lamp is from the 1950s or 60s. I am not sure of the maker, but Westmoreland, Imperial, and Fenton were nice milk glass producers. The way the glass is made appears to be from one of the higher quality companies.Steiffel was another brand that this reminds me of. Thanks!
