You'll find a variety of hand-blown light shades here - created for table lamps, pendants, sconce lights and torchiere lamps. Bob will custom-blow them according to your desired colors and shapes.

Ordering is best done through email or phone correspondence - there are too many variables to address them all here. Shades shown may be used as examples for colors, color patterns and shapes desired.

Bob's light shades fit most easily on the type of fixture shown to the left - using a light socket that's threaded on the outside as well as the inside, along with a threaded ring that holds the shade in place.

The shades to the left are just a few examples of the ones we've created for pendant lights.

The dimensions of these shades are usually 6-8" in height, and 7-12" in width. The fixture openings are usually 1 & 1/2" in diameter, thought we have also made them with 1/8" openings for lighting cables to slide through.

We charge $100 to $150 for pendant light shades. We also stock various styles of pendants for use with these shades.

We also create shades for floor torchiere' lamps, shown to the right.
