Featured Glass globe Art Nouveau mushroom?

Any ideas on maker? Has anyone ever seen this shape before? I can't decide if it was for a flush ceiling type mounting or a pendant light? Any ideas or information would be helpful

 

Oh my goodness -- pretty, pretty, pretty.

 

Beautiful.
Size?
I'd go with pendant. Or might have been the center with 3-4 smaller shades surrounding.

Have you looked inside and out on the rim for a signature.

I'm going to put my money on French in origin. (be advised, I don't usually win when I gamble.)

 

It's about 12 inches tall. I agree I think French. It is etched on the inside as well so it gives it more depth when lit.

 

I need to put my glasses on and look closer for some kind of making or signature. I just got it on a trip out of town.

 

My suspicion is pendant at that length. Maybe outside over an entrance?
If not...it could work that way now.

 

Ya, that looks like a solitary hanger...
to me !

 

Love it!

 

WOW, wish this was mine, its very pretty.

 

Gorgeous secessionist iridescent art glass shade, circa 1915. I would think likely Czech/Bohemian in origin. Agree with the others that this was probably for a pendant or part of a multi-shade chandelier.

 

Thank you for the suggestion of origin. I will gear my research towards that and see if I can come up with anything. I always love trying to solve the mystery of a new piece I know nothing about.
Origin,maker/artist,value.....

Would it still be considered iridescent, even if it doesn't have the metallic sheen? Sorry I really don't know much about antique glass and in the one picture it does look slightly iridescent.

I agree with the time period early Art Deco. Wish I could figure out how to change the title lol ......

 

No idea but it's really pretty!

 

Id have a fixture made for it and NEVER let it go. Stunning !

 

I see iridescence in the brown/bronze colored body. I assume it is really there.

I would not call this art deco. In my post above, I called it secessionist period. I think if you look up the term, you will see that this fits quite well.

 

Unfortunately there isn't any iridescence in the shade. It has lines in the glass and I think that might be what you are seeing. They are not raised and are very subtle.
