All Tiffany products were marked in some way or another. The Tiffany company was SO influential that it inspired numerous knockoffs and I think your lamp base may be one such example. The shade is a fairly ordinary shade that has a value of about $100-200 but the base - even without it being made by Tiffany - is worth more - $600-800 on its own. The value of $700-1,000 is for the shade and base if sold together.
I find no markings on the lamp or on the shade. Could markings be there and I just can't see them? Are there any Tiffany lamps that do not have markings?
I'm pretty sure this is a Tiffany because my grandmother told me it was. She was well to do and certainly had a house full of beautiful artwork.
