Vintage Melon Oil Lamp Shades

Glass Cream - Green Lampshades add old fashioned Victorian elegance to antique lamps. Subtle cream color top, fades to a pale green mist around shade base. The cream to green coloration is a great neutral, blending with many old lamp bases. These vintage melon oil lamp shades have a ruffled top. This coloration is ideal on older glass, brass and nickel oil lamps.

These Glass Cream - Green Lampshades 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 vintage melon oil lamp shades

• 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.
