It was time to upgrade my inherited beautiful 1950’s era glass lamps that were sporting their original bell-shaped shades. They had yellowed over time, had some tears inside, and I was frankly looking for a more contemporary feel for the lamps - that are, in my view, fairly timeless in and of themselves. The issue I had was the tricky glass “bowl” at the top surrounding the light bulb that requires a specific fitter. I could only find them a couple of places, and most places that had them had next to no selection. I was so pleased to find this shade at Lamps USA, in the exactly right size, shape, and color, and with the right fitter. Grandma’s old lamps look great in the newly updated room - a perfect blend of classic and modern. The material and construction are very solid and sturdy, and I expect we’ll be enjoying the lamps for decades to come thanks to this upgrade of the shades. I was even able to re-use the cool artichoke finials that were part of the original shades. The shipping was insanely fast (I just used standard shipping - nothing expedited) and the packaging was really secure to protect the shades in transit. Thanks, Lamps USA!
