Fiberglass Lamp Shades

[PrettySquareGal]

I picked this shade up at a yard sale today!

Does anyone have fiberglass shades? I'd love to see them!

Lucky! I never find mine at yard sales. So far it's been ebay and antique shops.

This I got on ebay very cheaply, around $5 or so. The lamp is from a thrift shop

This is a set of two I got on ebay, to match a pair of lamps. The lamps I got at a thrift shop as well.

This lamp I got on ebay, and the shade at an antique store.

Very nice!

I got my lamp from Linens and Things. lol But that was years ago before I started yard sale-ing. I hope to get old lamps and more cool shades.

I've always thought that a well-placed vintage lamp with a fiberglass shade can bring a vintage feel to any room!

It really does. This one shade does a lot for this room in particular, which is a dining room being used as a library. It DID come with a lamp, but the lamp didn't go well with the shade, so I'm using it in my living room with a contemporary shade for now. I'll post a pic of the lamp later- I was told it's from the 40's! (I paid $10 for both).

This is the lamp it came with:

I need to find a nice matching vintage shade.

By the way, does anyone know if there a name for this style of lamp?

(I'm not sure if I like it or not! But I'm using it for now, anyway!)

I just bought a great lamp from Goodwill! But I'm going to make a new thread for vintage lamp bases!

Ha Ha! I'm a girl who is completely obsessed with vintage lamps. I have a problem saying no to lights! Really I think I must have a disease! :eusa_doh:
Here's just a few!

Both are chalkware and made by Continental art company in 1951. I posted these on another thread awhile ago.

PrettySquareGal...your lamp is probably 50's and not 40's...they look similar to my set.

Here's some more for you...

OMG all these are divine!

Love it! BTW fftopic: what's going on with the checkerboard floor? Rug? DIY? Just laid over the hardwood? I love the idea of defining the dining space.

Here's my one fiberglass shade - a whole dollar at a yard sale!

..I'd pose with it on my head too but the light isn't right.

OMG!

Those are beautimous! I wish I could get my hands on one (or two as I have two lamps)!

I just wanted to define my dining area so I used blk/white vinyl peel off sticky tiles to create an area rug under my table. There's some more pictures of my house in the "show us your vintage home" thread.
