I am not so sure on the S&W attribution.

But we never Knows ....
Thanks in any case
Albert
Not all reference sites are accurate.
Some of those attributions are questionable! I see Harrach and other Czech pieces.
Here is a piece of Harrach-- very similar to some of those IDd S &W pieces:

There are some really good Czech glass folks on this site-- I am sure that they will weigh in later today.
Scott
In the general antique trade, you will often find anything with applied decoration on it attributed to Stevens and Williams.
Alfredo, Leah, Marty and several other contributors to this site are very knowledgeable on glass.
Your shade is a beautiful piece whomever made it!
Scott
