Hello and welcome!

I think you want to buy these lampshades, but would like to know more about them first?

The "Market Place" is for people who want to sell their glass - I think you need to be in the "Glass" forum to get answers.
I will ask a moderator to move your request.

I hope they make it. That Trestle Table set-up worries me!

Thank-you, kind moderator, for fixing this so quickly! 

Alberto, there are quite a few folk here who collect and know about uranium (vaseline) glass, so I hope you will get some answers. It does look as if there are some superb pieces there!

However, I'm not sure lampshades are well-documented.

Hello , No one specialist on Lampshades ?  :huh:

[chopin-liszt]

Please, have some patience. 
Folk who come here are all just "volunteers", they are not here all day, every day.

Sometimes an identification can take minutes, sometimes it can take years!

That's Right Sue .
I start some search and i find some Green Shade similar at the productions of "Powell Glass" or "Walsh & Walsh Glass" .
But i'm not sure ...

Vaseline Glass By Walsh .

I could see some similarities with those makers myself - but this really is not my area!
I do think the pieces you are showing seem to be of very good quality.
However, normally we just study and discuss one piece of glass in each "thread" - and good pictures of the base and rim finishes help a lot.

Are you wondering whether or not to buy the whole lot?

If that is the case, I think you already have a reasonable feeling for quality - and when it comes to quality, I have found it can be a good idea to buy it now and find out more about it later.
Quality is what gives such decorative and practical items value.
