Lovely vintage Hollywood Regency style table lamp featuring a shapely ginger jar ceramic body. The lamp is decorated with soft pink rose and purple wildflower transfers on a creamy off-white ground. It is mounted on a polished brass-finished tiered pedestal base. Perfect for shabby chic, traditional, or grandmillennial interiors. Approximate height is 20-24 inches to the top of the socket.
Key Features
Ginger jar silhouette; trending 'Grandmillennial' aesthetic; high-gloss lustrous finish; versatile floral color palette; classic brass accents.

High confidence. The Leviton-style socket and standard 1970s/80s wiring are consistent with mass-market quality of the era. No counterfeit risk for this specific style.
Flaws to Note
Missing lampshade and finial; minor pitting on the brass-plated base; slight surface wear on the floral decals; cord should be inspected for safety due to age.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace for local pickup (safest for fragile items); Etsy for the vintage decor market; eBay if packed extremely securely.
Selling Tips
Replace the missing harp and finial to make it 'plug-and-play' for the buyer. Use keywords like 'Grandmillennial,' 'Rose,' 'Shabby Chic,' and 'Hollywood Regency.' High-quality photos against a plain background will significantly increase the sale price.
