Glass Lamp Shade

Product Detailed Description

A bare pendant socket becomes a finished fixture once a glass shade slips over it. Light passes cleanly into the room while the glare softens, which is why these shades sit above kitchen islands, breakfast bars and small dining tables.

Blown and molded construction

Each piece is shaped from blown and molded glass, so thickness and surface vary slightly from one shade to the next. Small ripples and a faint seam where the gather was shaped are part of the character rather than a defect. Glass holds its shape, wipes clean and does not yellow under a warm bulb, and it reads more crisply than fabric or plastic.

Pairing and presentation

Check the opening diameter and height against the pendant socket before ordering, since fit matters most in a mini pendant setup. Frosted lamps give a softer glow, clear lamps a sparkling effect. Retailers, distributors and promotional suppliers can pair the translucent look with opaque shades along the same fixture run.

Inspection note

Review rim thickness and any drilling around the fitter, and confirm inner diameter, outer diameter and total height with the factory. Blown glass travels best in sturdy packing.
