White Hobnail Lampshades, 10 inch

Glass Hobnail Lamp Shades

White Hobnail Lampshades are a unique design. The embossed hobnail pattern is a series of raised bumps covering the shade's surface in a structured order. They are made of a beautiful, luminous white opal glass that is striking both lit and unlit. Although a favorite style dating from the late 1800's, they gained huge popularity in the 1950's. Use on glass, brass and nickel oil lamps. They are an excellent choice when restoring antique lamps. Made in America.

Additional information on 10" lamp shades

• This shade style sits in a shade ring, tripod or spider for support.
• Shade-fitter size is the outside diameter of the lampshade base, typically slightly less than 10".
• The shade-holder's diameter, where shade sits, should correspond to the shade's fitter size.
• This 10" lampshade type is commonly seen on 9" - 10-1/2" height lamp bases.
• These shades are handblown by skilled craftsmen, this historic process may naturally cause minor imperfections which are just part of the shade.
• Two lampshades are blown together as one unit, then cut in half creating 2 individual shades. This cut makes a slightly rough base, it is not a flaw.
• Glass-thickness can slightly vary, mildly affecting size and weight of lampshade. If needing a pair please order together to assure match.
