Welcome to the message board bantosh.

I suspect your shade is relatively modern - maybe sometime in the last thirty years or so, made in a traditional style. How wide is the fitting hole? It looks like it was designed to take an Edison holder which are a bit bigger than the old pendant type fittings.

Lighting can be very tricky when it comes to identifying a maker.
