My wife has this table lamp that she refers to as ‘my grandma’s tiffany’.
Can anyone elaborate adding information about it? All I know is that it’s an electrified hurricane lamp. I don’t see any markings.

Look at the lamp base,, the part that touches the table !! How thick is the metal ?? Tiffany used mostly bronze and that has to be cast,,same as cast iron !! This lamp looks like sheet metal that is just pressure formed or shaped !!
Above are examples of Tiffany Lamps !!
Tiffany was known more for the shades than the bases and both are usually marked !!
I am wondering if they may have been mistaken and got “Gone with the Wind” and Tiffany confused !! Your lamp is much more like the style of Gone with the Wind lamps!! Even though most of those had painted shades !!
Pretty sure your lamp was made late 1960`s or 70`s !!

These are some examples !! They made hundreds of different styles !!
