Another fiberglass lamp shade for a small table lamp. This one is a bit different as it has a ring that is supposed to fit over something but I am not sure what. See photo 3 for the ring. It is too large to fit on a light bulb, perhaps it is for a larger light bulb but as this would be a small lamp that seems unlikely.
I put it on top of another lampshade to show the pattern in the fiberglass. It is a nice shade and I would like to get a lamp to go with it.
I learned something today. I see these kinds of shades very often but always thought they were animal skin. I don't know why I thought that....am glad to find out I made a silly mistake. I have a big floor lamp with a fiberglass shade that I will post for you.
Thank you very much Efesgirl. I didn't know what it was until I looked up vintage lamp shades.
Thank you

Thank you very much Efesgirl. Excellent lamp and it does look like fiberglass.
