(1 item)
I recently got this at an estate sale. I love milk glass and have never seen a lamp style like this. I noticed a sticker on inside of bowl area it says Westmoreland Milk Glass, and some sort of number on the bottom. (See pics). Has anyone seen a lamp like this? Looking for a style name so I can find out more about it! TIA!!!
the bowl and sugar are Westmorland #1921 Lotus pattern; not sure what one might call that 'style' tho'
The mark is the mark they used in 1982. Westmoreland inside the circle.
The company was sold in 1981 and went out of business in 84. That is the bad news.
The good news is there is a national Westmoreland Milk Glass Collector site. I will post the link below. Good Luck.

As a person that knows little to nothing about vintage and antique items myself, I think Dasmus74 is asking more about the period and/or style meaning....Victorian, Art Deco, arts and crafts, mid-century modern. I'm trying to figure out some of that stuff myself. So I hope you get an answer if my assumption is correct?
Good luck! I love this lamp myself, but I'd haven't a clue about a shade for it even.
maybe 'shabby chic' if the wood parts were painted rather than stained.
Thank you TallCakes!
Now see, I didn't realize shabby chic was a real style/period, I thought that was a fairly new way or wording of describing an item. But I'm trying to learn and understand some of the lingo. And I appreciate you responding and helping!
