Our saying at The Victorian Glass Lamp Shade Shop is "no home is complete without the right lighting and no light is complete without the right shade". We recently purchased a large assortment of antique and vintage light shades from the estate of a person who collected antique and vintage light shades. We are currently identifying these shades by using antique and vintage lighting catalogs that go back as far as 1910. Please enjoy our large assortment of shades. We hope you find the shades you have been looking for for that vintage and antique light you own or will own in the future.

This is a wonderful Vintage GWTW Frosted and Ruffled Ball Globe Shade. The design is very unusual. The design is over squares within squares and an overall crimpled texture. It is hard to explain so please see a close up of the picture. This shade is very heavy and has thick glass with a frosted center and clear ruffled top. It measures 6 3/4" tall and 6" wide at the widest part of the ball. The fitter is 3 1/8" and the top opening is approximately 4". There are no cracks in the shade. There is general roughness and small chips around the 3 1/8" fitter edge which is common on older shades. This would not show once it is on the fitter. There is some paint residue that needs to be removed, which can be seen in the picture. Please click on the picture to enlarge it. We believe this shade may have gone on a hanging light or wall fixture. Please note that an oil chimney does not fit inside this ball shade. There is an identical one listed as Item #579, but the glass is lighter weight and not quite so thick.
