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.

LOL !! Well,, as long as its an affectionate yell !! Prices of Fenton glass dropped a bit in past years as did many types of glassware !! A few things still command a decent price but its worth keeping for the future !! Would be a good idea to write the pattern name/maker on a slip of paper and tape it to the bottom !! I know after a few years its hard to remember the pattern ect !!

When she yells at me , it’s more of an affectionate yell.
Thanks again for the info.
Now that I ponder it, it makes way more sense that it is a Fenton because she has numerous other items ( shoes, baskets, bowls….) that are Fenton glass from the same Grandma.
I think the sticker that you speak of is on the bottom of the marble base and is unreadable at quick glance.
Thank you, Martha.

Well Bless you,, I do not want her to yell at you !! It could possibly be Fenton !! Not all Fenton Glass is marked but finding an identical lamp is a good indication !! You can also just do a google search for Fenton lamps and see if more show up like yours !! Fenton glass is a mid priced glassware now but like all collectibles price will go up and down !! Now that Fenton factories are out of business there may be an upswing in prices !!
There are several websites where you can look it up !! I will see if I can find you a good one !!
Most had paper sticky labels but you can match the mold/pattern shape !!

We have a pattern name !! Cabbage Rose !! Was one identical on Etsy !! So you have a Fenton Cabbage Rose Hurricane Lamp !!

Ok, this is more likely a case of her telling me one thing and me thinking another thing and on recall, I substitute it with what I hear her saying. Because I looked through the Google link you posted and I found the identicle lamp in blue. Its a Fenton. Must be the male in me. 😮
Ok, are there any identifiers on Fenton lamps?
All I know is that she always yells at me if I touch it.

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 !!
