[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 2515836, member: 88"][USER=2498]@rink28[/USER] - It is a c.1926 DeVilbiss Perfume Light. The hardware would have been made by DeVilbiss & they would have bought the glass shade from another company. It could easily have been any of the glass manufacturers over in Bohemia. This lamp is BL-11. You may be missing the small brass bowl that would have set on top of the glass shade & then covered by the brass cap you have.
