Milk glass, a type of opaque white glass, gained popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for its decorative qualities, often used in tableware, lighting fixtures, and ornamental items. Its smooth, milky appearance made it a versatile material for various designs, from simple to ornate. Many manufacturers produced milk glass items, making them common yet collectible.

This particular lamp, with its hand-painted floral motif and brass accents, is characteristic of mid-century home decor, likely dating from the 1950s or 1960s. Such lamps were often designed for bedside tables or headboards, providing ambient lighting. The combination of milk glass, painted decoration, and metal fittings reflects the popular aesthetic of the era, blending functionality with decorative appeal.
