Description
**Vintage Glass Table Lamps with Hobnail Pattern Shades**
This collection consists of three vintage table lamps featuring distinctive glass construction and brass/bronze metallic bases. The standout piece is a large white milk glass lamp with an all-over hobnail (raised dot) pattern throughout both the bulbous body and flared shade. Two smaller coordinating lamps feature clear pressed glass hobnail-pattern bases with smooth glass shades - one with a white shade and one with a pale mint green shade. All three lamps have brass or bronze-toned metal fittings and hardware.
Based on the ruler visible in the images, the large white hobnail lamp measures approximately 24-26 inches in height, while the two smaller lamps appear to be roughly 18-20 inches tall. The large lamp's shade diameter appears to be about 12-14 inches. All lamps show period-appropriate electrical cords and fittings, suggesting mid-20th century manufacture, likely 1940s-1960s.
The lamps are in good vintage condition with typical minor wear consistent with age and use. The glass shows some expected surface dulling but no visible chips or cracks. The hobnail pattern and milk glass construction are characteristic of American pressed glass manufacturers like Fenton or similar companies from this era. These pieces would be suitable for both functional use and decorative display, representing classic mid-century American lighting design.
