This seems very similar to the Pittsburgh Glass Co.'s Mercury Glass "X-Ray" reflector shades which seem very common. It is my understanding that these shades were used with fixtures to illuminate display cases and windows at department stores in the 30's-40's . I am not sure if the highly reflective surface really is made with mercury or not, but there are many kinds of shades made from "mercury glass". I have never seen a shade manufactured by the Sterling company before. Very nice!
