In the Art Deco period, lamp glass shades were often signed to indicate their authenticity and artistic value. This signature can take various forms, such as an engraved logo, an engraved signature of the artist, or a printed signature.

One well-known manufacturer of lamp glass shades in the Art Deco style was the French company Verlys, which often stamped their glass shades with a signature reading “Verlys France.” Other manufacturers have signed their glass shades with a signature bearing the name of the artist or company that produced the shade.

It is also common for Art Deco style glass shades to be adorned with a pattern or engraving that reflects the style of the era. These can be geometric shapes, floral motifs, animal motifs, or abstract patterns.
