1920's Blue, Purple, Green Slag Glass Lamp Shade Art Deco Nouveau 6 Panel

Lovely antique 1920's 6 Panel Slag Glass lamp shade with metal overlay. I've handled many of these over the years and I believe the metal overlay to retain it's original patina and paint. The glass appears to have never been taken out of it's frame for cleaning and the tabs that hold the glass in place are tight and secure.

As well, the glass fits well into the frame and is held in place very. The metal is strong with no splits or broken parts of the fancy. The metal is "NOT" the soft bendable type of pot metal and the shade is NOT "out of shape". In other words, you won't be.

Because the shade is firm, sound, and nothing is bent out of angle. The glass is a stunning lovely creamy mix of purple, blue, spots of green , cream and caramel. The glass has NO damage at all. Nothing broken, chipped or cracked. I will point out that a few of the. Have what is called "cooling marks" or stretch marks. When this type of thick glass was being bent during manufacture, sometimes little "cooling marks" could appear as the glass was cooling. You will sometimes hear folks call this "straw marks".

These are not cracks or damage and they are a part of the manufacturing process. Look closely at the photos and you will see a few of these faint lines here and there. They do not distract from the beauty of this shade or affect it's. I do my best to describe everything in as much detail as I can. The metal circle at the top (the part that is placed down over a base) is strong and firm.

I'm hoping that someone has the perfect base and this awesome shade will be of use. Size: approx 15.3/4 at the widest distance between point to point on the bottom. 13.3/4 across the bottom from flat side to flat side.

It stands 7 inches tall from bottom to top and the diameter of the circle at the top is 3.3/8.
