This shade is a flea market find. It is Fostoria and featured in the book "Collecting Art Nouveau Shades" by Darrah Roberts. Fostoria never signed their shades, so identifying them is contingent on shape, color and design.
If I am mistaken in my identification, please give me your input.

You are absolutely correct.......it is Fostoria Glass Specialty Co. of Fostoria, Ohio....not to be confused with the better known Fostoria Glass Co. of W. VA.
Did you see the one I have that I posted some time ago ?
Thank you LoetsBuddies, your collection is amazing! When I have time I will go through each of them and study them. There are a few art glass shades posted under the category of Lamps on this site that need to be identified. Could you look at them? One looks like Loetz and the other like Fostoria to me. I think they need you expertise. Thank you again.
Johann : I added my Fostoria shade next to yours. They make a nice "couple".
Thank you, Deanteaks, vetraio50, Hedgewalker, famatta127 and BELLIN68. LoetzBuddies, I love your shade and I am glad you use it. I would love to see it on the base you use.
Thank you, guyfrmatl, Greatsnowyowl, czechman, antiquefreak66, scandinavian_pieces and DeeLores!
