This lamp shade dates from the early 20th century, approximately 1900-1925, during the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods when American art glass was flourishing. The pulled feather pattern was created using special techniques to manipulate molten glass, creating the distinctive feathered design with iridescent qualities. Art glass lamp shades from this era are highly sought after by collectors of American art glass and antique lighting enthusiasts. The iridescent finish and delicate pulled feather pattern represent the exceptional craftsmanship of American glassmakers during this period. Collectors value these pieces for their artistic merit, historical significance, and the way they transform light into a warm, ambient glow when illuminated.
