Pink Tulip Slag Glass Shades, 2 1/4 Fitter, Outstanding Acorn Banding, Early
The shape of these shades are known as a Tulip shape. The color, shape and execution of the shades is just wonderful. One shade is 5 5/8″ tall and the mouth or flower end is 4 5/8″ in diameter. The other shade stands 5 9/16″ and the flower end is 5 3/4″. The top fitter area measures 2 3/16. These shades will fit into any standard 2 1/4 fitter cup. These shades have a Tulip shape and bent slag glass panels. There are 6 of these slag glass panels per shade. They are a Salmon Pink to White opalescence in color. Each panel is wrapped in a brass channel very much like the Handel Lamp Company made theirs. Where the sides meet is some of the nicest banding laid over it as not to see where the panels meet and see the soldering. The pattern in the banding overlay is of a Bell Flower with hanging acorns swaying in each direction. These resemble drape pulls. These 2 shades are in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. They are both unsigned and I fully. Them to be of the period and made at the same quality level as The Handel Lamp Company. This is a nice set of slag glass shades. These can be used in lamps and wall sconces. They look great as a glass shade for a Victorian wall light or sconce. You can also use them in bronze statues converted to decorative lights that have a 2 1/4 shade fitter or holder. To accommodate this size shade. I acquired these shades together and do not know if they have been together their entire time but suspect they have. They have some subtle differences. One appears a little more rosy pink than the other and 1 is a little wider. I might consider breaking this set because of this. Please let me know if you are interested.
