Vintage Porcelain Bathroom Wall Sconce with Frosted Glass Shade – Pull Chain

Description :
This vintage bathroom wall sconce features a classic white porcelain mount and a frosted glass shade with scalloped edges and sunburst ribbing. It includes a pull-chain switch and a built-in outlet, making it ideal for period-correct restorations. The ceramic base shows age-related wear, and the interior socket components are visibly aged and may require rewiring for modern use. Original label remnants and socket markings suggest American manufacture. A functional and decorative piece from a bygone era.
