This unique color and finish provides a pleasing velvety light. White milk glass interior directs light downward for reading and task lighting. This glass lamp shade has an embossed, melon shape with ruffled top. The shape and color add a quiet distinction to vintage and antique lamps. These shades are made in USA. Skilled craftsmen hand-blow each shade. Due to the nature of any hand-blown glass, slight imperfections may naturally occur. 2 shades are handblown together as one. Glass is then cut in half, creating 2 shades. The cut separation makes the base a little rough, this is not a flaw.  This glass is both beautiful and luminous offering a a smooth, quiet appearance.  Measuring a Melon Lamp Shade Shade-fitter is the bottom edge diameter of lampshade. This measurement is typically slightly less than 10". Shade-fitter sits in shade ring, tripod or spider for support.  Opening in shade-holder, where shade sits, will be the fitter size. 10" fitter lampshades proportionally fit: 9" - 10-1/2" lamp bases.  Occasionally they are seen on taller lamps. Lampshades are blown glass. Glass blowing techniques can cause slight differences in glass-thickness.  These differences can affect bottom diameter and weight of lampshade. If needing a pair please order together to assure match.
