Melon Student Glass Lamp Shade provides excellent light output on antique and vintage lamps. The white milk glass offers bright light, both outward and downward. It is useful for reading and task lighting.

This glass lamp shade has an embossed, melon shape with ruffled top. If you are looking for something a little different, this lamp shade is a great choice. The interesting shape enhances an otherwise plain white shade.

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. 

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.
