glad my thread prompted a successful find of a matching glass shade rosie, although sorry to hear you have an asthma problem. Funny expression isn't it, this..... 'landing light' - what the $**? are we implying.............that we get 747's dropping in for tea. But must stop this banter, or I'll be kicked off the board.
Coincidentally, started watching the Isherwood thingy on the box last evening and am sure that one of the light shades in Berlin was just like the one in your ebay link - but is it 'opaline' (as the seller states), or just an example of spatter glass?? Anyway turned off, as couldn't stand all these blokes kissing each other.
As mentioned earlier, certainly in my childhood, the fashion was to have a glass bowl as the main ceiling shade (hanging on three chain like supports), and these were often in some sort of colourful spatter pattern - so guess I can always go out and buy a length of discreet brass chain, and hang this one in my front room, and remenisce about the '50's. Should give a warm 'sunset' glow when the electric light is turned on.
