Oh - I've got a size VII same shape and colour - thought it was a vase till i tried to clean it and realised it was acid etched!

no labels or fittings though  :(

does look lovely lit - would this have had a painted parchment shade?

maybe i should try to get some fittings made!

A very big, tall (retro-style) cylindrical fibreglass shade in orange might go quite well.
You'd have to get the proportions right - it would have to be wide enough as well as tall enough.

It's a lovely warm glowy sort of thing to be living with, Gary.  :)

might have had a painted shade but not all did so might not have, only ones from libertys im led to believe came with painted ones , so ones from Moncrieff may have came without a shade or maybe a plain one
