13" White Milk Glass Light Globe Shade

Description :
This white milk glass shade features a gently rounded drum form, slightly more compact than typical schoolhouse styles, giving it a modern-meets-vintage look. Measuring 13" in diameter and 8" tall, it's finished with a 5⅞" flange opening, making it compatible with most antique or industrial fixtures. The opal finish provides diffused light ideal for entryways, kitchens, or converted pendants. There is some light speckling across the surface consistent with storage and age, but no cracks or chips noted. Clean edges and symmetrical form make it a strong candidate for restoration or reuse.
