    I've researched it and am confused if it's like from 1970's or 80's or if it's older.
    I believe it's leaded?
    It resembles slag glass. But not sure if could be stained glass either. It's not too heavy.
    My research came up with similar images under Spectrum Mission slag glass tiffany style etc.
    I polished the top piece so I could see if there are any markings. None that I could see.
    It's approximately 10" - 10.5" wide and approx 6 1/2" tall.
    Any info would be greatly appreciated!

    Id guess 1970s just from the colors . I will say it seems better made than usual.

    Yes, I'd think 1970s as well. Stained glass lamps very popular then.

    I’d call it “leaded slag glass” if I were listing to sell.

    Lamps and shades are not my specialty.
    So I will be the first to admit I could be wrong.

    I do not think it is old. Most of the early lamps and the 1970s stained glass shades were open at the top. Those with metal tops were fitted differently.

    This just looks like sloppy work to me that you wouldn't see in an older piece.
    Again, I would be happy to be corrected.

    I was thinking the same thing.
    I was confused by that part actually, thinking it was older because of that part which doesn't look like a store bought "soldering" or whatever that is, or it was newer and someone maybe tried to fix it, doing a sloppy job of it?
    Or.....maybe it was handmade?

    Could be 70's or even newer. There were a huge number of these lamps made in China that were being sold in the 80's and 90's. Handmade but on a production line basis.
