:hi:
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:

Please, have some patience. ;D
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.

Thanks Sue .
You convince me . To buy quality , you never have problem . I prefer to pay a little more but have it .
Thanks again .
