Andromeda Round Lamp Shade 13cm - Clear

A small round glass shade with a clear outer wall and a frosted funnel set inside it. The clear glass keeps the shape open and airy, while the frosted inner sleeve softens the glare and screens the lamp from direct view, so what you see is a gentle glow sitting inside a rounded bowl. At 13cm across the outside, it is a modest piece rather than a bold one, with a squat, slightly domed profile that reads as modern without shouting about it.

We reach for shades like this where a fitting calls for several small heads rather than one large one: a run above a kitchen island, a cluster over a dining table, or either side of a mirror. The diffused core makes it comfortable to sit beneath, and the clear outer never blocks a sightline across an open-plan room. It suits anyone replacing tired or mismatched glass on a fitting they already own just as well as anyone building up something new. This is glassware only, with the lamp and the electrics belonging to the fitting it goes on.

Both parts are glass, the outer clear and the inner frosted, so the finish runs through the material rather than sitting on top of it and will not wear thin at the rim. For cleaning, wait until the glass is cold, then wash in warm water with a drop of washing-up liquid and dry with a lint-free cloth; scouring pads and solvent sprays will cloud the frosted funnel, so leave those in the cupboard. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same round shape in amber, chrome and copper, and there is a taller wine-glass profile in the range if you want a little more drop over a worktop.

What size is this shade?

It measures 130mm in diameter and 112mm tall, so it is a small shade suited to multi-light fittings rather than a single large pendant.

Is the whole shade clear?

The outer glass is clear. Inside sits a frosted funnel, which is what softens the light and keeps the lamp from being stared at directly.

Does it come with a lamp?

No. It is a non-electrical glass shade, so the lamp type is set by the fitting it goes on.

How heavy is it?

It weighs 0.14kg, which is light for glass of this size.

How should I clean it?

Once cold, wash it in warm soapy water and dry it with a lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasives and chemical cleaners, which will mark the frosted inner surface.

What other finishes are there?

This round shape is also offered in amber, chrome and copper, each with the same frosted inner funnel.
