this is not fenton hanging heart. im almost positive that this pieces is durand
I think Durand is a good guess, but I'm pretty sure that this was made by Fostoria. Darrah Roberts in her book Collecting Art Nouveau Shades, describes, methods each of them used to make the "leaf and vine" pattern. Fostoria used heavier vines and ran them horizontal. Durand used lighter vines and ran them vertical. Also, Durand rarely put a standard 2.5" collar on his shades. Most were made for special mounting. I hope this helps.
