Pretty much no audio at sales this summer (save for some BPC), but got these this past weekend.
The lamp (moreso the shade) is a real mystery. I'm 99.999% sure it's not Tiffany, but it's one helluva' piece of art (towards the top, there are glass pieces that are 1-2mm wide by 5mm long). Copy or not, I can't imagine the time it took just to make it.
The shade is 18" across at the bottom, and about 15" high, about 7-8 lbs.

Beautiful shade! I just did a quick flip of a lamp base while on vacation earlier this month that i wish i had kept. The only reason i dumped it was due to it missing the slag glass shade like yours has. Could be a Duffner & Kimberly shade. I was told buy the guy who repairs lamps a quick tip to see if its old or not. Give the shade a quick flick of your finger. If it has some rattle, its old. The reasoning behind it was old lampmakers used a natural pine tar binder in the leaded channel that holds the glass. Over the years, it degraded and fell out which caused the individual pieces to "rattle" If it doesn't rattle, it doesnt mean its not old, it was just a quick way to tell a newer shade from a really old one.
As for the Jarts, those are going to be a task to sell. The big auction site just pulled my plastic safety tipped versions in about 10 minutes so you will have to go through a local venue.
