Description
Clear glass, pressed with a corrugated effect that breaks the light into fine vertical lines as it passes through. The form is a shallow funnel bell, wide at the mouth and drawn in towards the top, 20cm across and sitting low rather than deep. Because the glass is clear you see the lamp within it, which is much of the appeal: the shape reads as a bright ring rather than a solid shade.
It suits a pendant over a kitchen island, a row of two or three above a breakfast bar, or a single drop beside a favourite chair. Ribbed clear glass throws a little sparkle onto worktops and tiled walls, so it works as hard in a kitchen as it does over a dining table. We would put a golf ball LED lamp in the host fitting, up to 20W, and pick a warm one where people eat. A clear lamp will show its filament plainly through the glass, so choose according to how much of that you want on view.
The shade is glass throughout, with the corrugation formed in the material rather than applied to it, so there is no surface coating to wear away. Clean it with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water and dry it off before the light goes back on, as clear glass shows fingerprints and dust far sooner than an opaque shade will. Keep it to dry rooms indoors, away from splashes and steam. It carries a one year warranty. This is the shade on its own, so the lamp comes from the fitting it hangs on, and we think it looks best where that fitting is kept plain and the glass is left to do the talking.

Frequently Asked
What size is this shade?
It measures 200mm in diameter and 90mm in height, so it is a wide, shallow bell rather than a deep one. Allow for the height of your chosen lamp below the mouth.
What lamp should I use with it?
An LED golf ball lamp is the one we would reach for, rated no higher than 20W. The socket type comes from the pendant or fitting the shade is used with.
Is the ribbed effect painted on?
No. The corrugated texture is formed in the glass itself, so it cannot chip or peel like a surface finish.
How heavy is it?
The shade weighs 0.8kg.
How do I keep clear glass looking sharp?
Wipe it with a soft cloth dampened in warm soapy water, then dry it thoroughly. Avoid abrasive creams and solvent cleaners, which dull the surface and sit in the ribbing.
Does it come with a warranty?
It carries a one year warranty.
