Vintage Milk Glass Waffle Shade 6" Torchiere Diffuser Lamp w/ Brass UNO Holder

Waffle-pattern milk glass diffusers were a lamp-maker favorite through much of the 20th century: a cone of thick opal glass that sits in a brass holder under an outer shade and sends a soft, glowing light up and around the room. Lamp restorers, mid-century decorators and fans of clean white glass still hunt for them, and this one is ready to put back into service or display on a shelf.

Details

• Key facts: white opaque milk glass cone, about 6 in across the open bottom, with straight flared sides and a flat-cut top.
• Fine horizontal ribbed 'waffle' texture with vertical panel lines and a plain smooth band at the bottom edge.
• Weighs just under 1 lb.
• It comes with its brass-plated gallery ring (12 round vent holes, a threaded UNO-style center opening and 3 knurled brass set screws).

Condition: Used, good vintage condition. Tiny dark specks in the glass, some grit on the flat top edge, and dark tarnish and corrosion on the brass ring and screws; see photos.

The photos are part of the description, and it will be packed with care.
