These Opal Glass 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.

- 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.
