Fostoria "IRIS" shade RARE!! I dug 6 of these beauties out of a barn in Florida. After returning ,I discovered that all of my reference books were still down there. ANY info anyone could share besides the date of manufacture [1910-1914] would help out alot

Fostoria Glass Specialty Co. (not to be confused with Fostoria Glass Co. of W. VA)
was purchased by General Electric Co. in 1910. The company had been making light bulbs for GE.
They hired ex-Tiffany workers to come to Fostoria Ohio and produce Tiffany type art glass shades. They also made a limited number of vases. This art glass had a paper label which read: IRIS Fostoria O.
