The mark in question is a generic country of origin mark which is – as you already noticed – are never producer-specific. Shown version however *is* from the period of 1918-1921, as I explained above. Just because somebody markets his goods as “vintage” does not negate historic facts, it only proves that the person did not give much on research.
The research I have seen suggests that the mark cannot be tied to a specific maker. I have only seen one other lamp that is close in style and it was marketed as “vintage” which would suggest it is not 1918-20. The lamp is a beautiful dark blue with peacocks on it. It has been an interesting find but I have not been able to validate the time frame it was made.
Thank you for your help.

Nonsense, Czechoslovakia did not even exist before the war. Czechoslovkia came into being 1918. Until 1921 (US McKinley Tarriff Act) the respective writing of this country-of-origin was not standardized, hence the versions with hyphen or C-Hatschek character equal the period 1918-1921; from 1921 the US-dictated form of “Czechoslovakia” was used.
