    Hi Colt! Welcome to Antiquers!

    I would guess the 60's or so. But others may differ.

    They'll be along soon.

    One think about later lighting is that it can often be dated based on the type of plug used. Would think this 70s but could be a tad later. A look at the plug might help to pin it down.

    I'd have guessed 60s, from the green color and the metalwork. Maybe a bit later since it lights on the bottom too.

    I agree with the 60s.

    Most likely assembled in the states. The glass could be American or possibly Italian.

    Lamps are put together in parts. Glass made by one company, brass bases by another assembled by the company that commissioned the glass and metal and then sold under the assembler's name. Not sure I explained that properly, but hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

    Editing to say that the brass would have most likely have been done by a foundry.

    See learn something everyday here. I didnt know it doesnt seemlike a cost effective approach. Is it normal to find no markings on anything. Forgot to mention the painting flowers are tiny wires. Not big deal but becoming one...a quest figure out mystery...yes a lamps unknown history is highlight in my life...lol.

    One company can't be expected to make glass and pour brass. That would not be cost effective. Easier to contract out to places that specialize in what is needed. The contract of course would be large enough to make hundreds if not thousands of lamps. It would not be an original stand alone lamp.
