The name of the company changed too, becoming Edward Miller & Co. For a time, then The Miller Co. A mark of Miller or E M & CO on the base indicates a Miller lamp. Miller produced more expensive leaded glass lamps, but seized the opportunity to sell lighting for the middle classes as more and more homes were wired for electricity.

All the lamps are described as being “cast metal openwork” over “light amber art glass” and could be ordered in a variety of metal finishes including French brown, Grecian antique, Etruscan bronze and Florentine relief. While lamps were made with glass in colors other than amber, or caramel as it is often called now, amber predominates.
