This is a rare and specialized piece of Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG). Crafted by Imperial Glass in the early 20th century, this Diamond and Sunburst (Pattern No. 474) piece is a Fairy Lamp Shade with its original matching lid.
The glass features a brilliant Marigold Carnival finish with a fiery, sunset-like iridescence. This item was manufactured as a bottomless cylinder, designed to sit over a separate candle-cup or electric base to vent heat while casting a warm, glowing light. It comes complete with the original faceted starburst lid, which is often lost or broken.
This set is a must-have for a collector looking to complete a fairy lamp restoration or for someone seeking a unique, authentic hurricane-style candle shield.
