Description
Clear glass drawn into a shallow dome, with a shell effect worked across the surface so the light breaks up a little as it passes through. At 20cm across it is a small shade, low in profile rather than deep, which keeps the lamp close to the glass and the spread of light wide. There is no wiring or socket in it: this is a shade only, made to sit on a suspension or fitting you already have, so the lamp itself is the host fitting's business rather than the shade's.
We reach for shades like this where a room wants light without a solid shape blocking the view: over a breakfast bar, above a dressing table, or in a row along a kitchen island. Clear glass suits a golf ball LED, and we would keep to something small and tidy given the lamp is on show through the glass. Rated for lamps up to 20W, it comfortably covers the modest LED wattages most homes now run. It belongs in dry, everyday rooms about the house.
The body is glass throughout, clear with the shell texture pressed into it, so nothing is applied on top that could wear away. To clean, lift it off the fitting once the lamp has gone cold, wash in warm soapy water, then dry with a lint-free cloth before it goes back on; fingerprints and kitchen film show readily on clear glass, and an occasional wash keeps it looking crisp. It carries a one year warranty. Hung on a plain metal suspension in brass or black it looks considered, and it groups as happily as it works on its own. The lamp is bought separately.

Frequently Asked
What are the dimensions of this shade?
It measures 200mm in diameter with a height of 70mm, giving a wide but shallow dome that sits close to the lamp.
Does the shade include a lamp or any wiring?
No. It is a non-electric glass shade, so the lampholder, flex and lamp all come from the fitting it is used with.
Which lamp works best with it?
An LED golf ball is the one to pick, rated no higher than 20W. Because the glass is clear, a neat lamp shape looks better than a large one.
How heavy is it?
The shade weighs 0.7kg.
Will it look right over a dining table?
Yes, if the fitting hangs high enough that the lamp is not at eye level. The shallow dome throws light outwards rather than in a narrow pool, so it suits tables and breakfast bars well.
How should I clean the shell effect glass?
Warm soapy water and a soft cloth, with the shade removed and cold. Dry it fully with a lint-free cloth so no water marks are left in the texture.
