    This is a Welz 'umbrella' type light shade with sixteen 'spokes' or protuberances around its circumference. The décor is Translucent Lines and Spots, though in this décor the so called spots are always jagged splodges! The shade came from France and the gallery is probably the most common model found there.

    A while ago I drooled over examples of this type of Welz shade, shown in a post by Jericho, never even thinking I could own one.......but that's collecting.......you never know what you'll find next!

    Diameter 26 cm./10.25 inches Height 16 cm./6.25 inches

      You're sounding very buoyant, Malkey, and now you mention it, it does look like tortoiseshell.....one that's been in the sun!

      Welcome back on CW,Peggy:).

      Thank you, Iwona, I've just been occupied by a house move, but I'm gradually getting straight :)

      Lovely thing Peggy - wait 'til Jericho sees it!!
    6. IronLace IronLace, 6 years ago
      It's magical!
      As you said, you never know with collecting - the pieces you've never dreamed of owning can sometimes come your way quite by chance...
      My empathy to you for the move...still getting things sorted at my place too, it's off to a promising start, but I dare say I'll be faffing about with my collection for years...sure you know what I mean! :-)

      Thanks Phil, the best of my old shades because it's identifiable. Also it's shape is different from the examples posted by Jericho.
    8. sklo42 sklo42, 6 years ago
      Hi IronLace, for me it was a great find as I love household items in décors most usually found as as vases or bowls. I'm very familiar with that faffing you talk about. I shall be moving the items I have in the same décor as the shade into the same room......part of the fun :)

      Thanks for the loves and comments everyone.
    10. philmac51 philmac51, 6 years ago
      Yeah... but he'll still want it!
    11. sklo42 sklo42, 6 years ago
      I was remarking on yet another shape because it seems so typical of Welz to produce so many variations in both shape and décor.

      Photos by all means......

      Fantastic! I love these... when I was in the Czech Republic a few years back you can still find these in pubs with old iron fixtures. Mine has a blue rim for some reason
    13. sklo42 sklo42, 6 years ago
      I share your enthusiasm, Jericho and was gobsmacked (but delighted) to come across one for sale.

      Many thanks to those who've chipped in with loves more recently!
