Those wooden knops really set it off nicely.  :)
Now I need to find somebody who can turn wood and make some for me, to replace those ill-fitting metal bits.

I was immediately reminded of the knopped tops on Benny Mozfeldt cheese covers, and of St Basil's Cathedral in Moscow.
Very elegant, in a truly iconic sort of way. :)

I, too, suspect it's rather modern - early 2000s to present.

See similar: https://www.lightingcompany.co.uk/tone-modern-red-glass-ceiling-pendant-light-p624

Lamps like this were (perhaps still are) usually suspended with a claw-like fitting that allows airflow around the bulb and sometimes a degree of adjustment, like so:

Well found! Yes, it does look very similar, doesn't it? Would look good in the right setting.

Hi, there is some information on ’Fog & Mørup with Holmegaard’ shades here:

https://vintageinfo.be/jacob-eiler-bang-pendant-lamp/

They say “Similar, almost identical lamps were made by Base from Murano, Italy in the same period”. Your lamps look to have more of a waist to the ones they say are Holmegaard so maybe yours are from the Italians.
