Hi I have a beautiful (to me) table lamp. I'm sure it's satin glass and it has a lovely soft iridescent sheen to it, especially at the edges of the ruffles. It measures approx 4" deep and 6" diameter across the widest point of the ruffles. I bought it from an antiques fair about a year ago and the seller knew nothing about it's history, but it is vintage or antique (and working :D). It is unmarked. I don't know if it is in the original lamp stand or not. I was hoping that someone may know who made it please?
Thank you :D

Hi Chris,
the shade is in a Victorian style. Can't tell if it is original but most shades aren't signed and very hard to assign. The base looks post Modernist 1950's - present.  I have seen early bases and they are usually very decorative. I hope this helps a bit,
regards Malcolm.
