Historical Reference: The use of milk glass in lighting fixtures gained widespread popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its opaque, white appearance offered a sophisticated alternative to clear or colored glass, diffusing light beautifully in oil lamps and later electric lamps. The hobnail design, commonly used in vintage glassware, was especially popular from the 1930s through the 1950s, reflecting a preference for decorative, tactile patterns. The ruffled top design, often seen in hurricane lamps, was a popular element in Victorian and farmhouse-style lighting. This lamp shade captures the essence of that era, combining both functionality and classic decorative style, making it a perfect addition to vintage or traditional home décor.
