HI Dizzydave ! I believe this is called Fenton hanging heart and have attached a link to ebay that show the different colors and styles. I beleive this is worth a lot of money so you may want to investigate it thoroughly ;) Hope this helps, Chuck

I think Durand is a good guess, but I'm pretty sure that this was made by Fostoria. Darrah Roberts in her book Collecting Art Nouveau Shades, describes, methods each of them used to make the "leaf and vine" pattern. Fostoria used heavier vines and ran them horizontal. Durand used lighter vines and ran them vertical. Also, Durand rarely put a standard 2.5" collar on his shades. Most were made for special mounting. I hope this helps.
