I only found one reference to this company so it's hard to know how to price this shade. It is 16" diameter.
The Tiffanys (their real name) soldered a small glass heart inside next to their name plate. The only thing I could find was an old article in Collector's Weekly

I found what I assume is the same info you found. It gave the years of operation as well as the original selling prices. If it were mine, I'd put it up on eBay with a starting price equal to the minimum I'd be happy with and let the auction go, using the info from CW in the descripttion. Apparently there may not be a large secondary market demand - or perhaps a large enough supply to support one?

Just realized, the first link is definitely the same company as yours. The second link is probably not.

Links below to a Dec. 1974 newspaper article about the company. They must have opened in about June-July 1974.

I know much of what needs to be known about making Hart Stained Glass lampshades; I used to work there!

I am from Eastern CT and acquired a dining room light that has a blue glass heart built in the shade. I wonder if it came from this place

I have a Tiffany lamp that I think is from them. Do they put a small heart on the inside of the each lamp as their signature. I am trying to determine the value

Hello, a couple of leaded shades mounted on Handel bases have recently surfaced. The shades are signed “A.H. Freeman and I was wondering if this could have been the Andy Freeman connected to Heart Tiffany. Thanks for any information.
