Title: Mdina/Murano?? Glass Lampshade
Post by: Madam Medusa on August 10, 2011, 12:44:37 AM

Salut!
I was rifling through my shed and came across these three glass lamp shades. They are a white-translucent with an elongated speckeled effect. The lamp shades are 6'' high and have a frilled effect around the rim. They are very light in weight. They are the original shades for this lady mounted on a horse. This item has been in our family for many years. I know it was purchased in London but have no idea of it's origin  :huh2:
I have been doing a lot of research on this piece and was wandering if it would help by first identifying the shades.
                   Merci

Definitely not Mdina and probably not Murano. Lampshades are very difficult because they were often made to order. You'd be better starting with the base and the fittings and looking for marks.
