Description
This is a small round glass shade with a mirrored chrome outer and a frosted funnel set inside, so light is softened before it leaves the glass. The polished surface picks up the colours of the room around it, which keeps the shade visually light in spite of the shine. At 13cm across it is a modest piece, nearer a tumbler than a bowl, and it reads as one clean shape rather than a fussy one. We stock it both as a replacement and as a way of changing the character of a fitting you already own.
It suits multi-light bars, cluster pendants and wall lights made to take glass of this size, and it earns its keep in kitchens, hallways and bedrooms where a group of small shades spreads light more gently than one large one. The frosted inner funnel is the reason for that: it takes the hard edge off the lamp so you can sit or work beneath the light without being dazzled. The lamp itself is a matter for the fitting it goes on, so check what that host is specified to take. We would use a few of these together over an island or a run of worktop.
Glass throughout, with the chrome effect on the outer wall and the frost on the funnel within. Marks show readily on a polished face, so isolate the light, let the glass come back to room temperature, then wipe with a barely damp microfibre and buff dry; nothing abrasive, and no solvent near the plating. It is meant for dry indoor rooms. It carries a one year warranty. The same round shape is also offered in amber, clear and copper, and a wine-glass form appears elsewhere in the range if you want a different profile.

Frequently Asked
What size is this shade?
It measures 130mm in diameter and 112mm in height, so it counts as a small shade suited to multi-light fittings.
Does it come with a lamp?
No. This is a non-electric glass shade, and the lamp is determined by the fitting it is used on.
What is the frosted part for?
A frosted funnel sits inside the chrome outer glass. It diffuses the light and screens the lamp from direct view.
How should I clean the chrome finish?
With the light off and the glass cool, use a barely damp microfibre cloth and dry it straight away. Avoid abrasive creams, scouring pads and solvent-based sprays, which will dull the plated surface.
Is it heavy?
No, it weighs 0.14kg, which is light for a glass shade of this diameter.
Can I use it outdoors or in a shower room?
No. It is rated IP20 and intended for dry indoor rooms only.
