As you know, it is indeed possible - which I presume is why the question was asked. Everything depends upon what is underneath the brass.
It has been suggested that the fitting is 'home made'. If so, the absence of a provided means of connecting a CPC certainly would not be an indication that it didn't require earthing!
That term was indeed used, but previoulsy what had been said was ...
I would presume that, too - and if that is the case, presumably the brass 'lampholder part' will have provision for connecting an earth. It's the brass shade which may well not have provision for connecting an earth - although, when assembled, it would presumably be in electrical continuity with the brass lampholder, and therefore might not require a separate earth connection (if, that is, the lampholder were earthed!!).
Nor have I - taht was my point.
Theoretically possible, I suppose, but there's not much space within a lampholder to get adequate insulation between the innards and the brass, is there? I certainly have never seen such an animal.
You're right that we haven't seen it, so the best we can really do is believe what we have been told ...
Oooooh. I must remember that.
