This Art Deco Lamp shade is done in the Peacock style. I really dont know a lot about it and was wondering if anyone can verify its age. I know they make copies all day long now, but I feel it to be an antique. Please help unsolve the mystery if anyone can. Thank you

I am not a glass expert, but it appears to be original to me. In the closeup picture it looks to be soldered. Is it heavy, and is it real glass? The reproductions today use plastic that looks like glass, but is light, and when you tap it with your finger it sounds like plastic.I would guess the age to be in the early 1920's, possibly earlier.
Thank you for your input. It is glass as actually one of the panes is presently cracked. It is heavy weighted as well, almost 4-lbs. The dating you supplied is about what I thought. Thank you again
