14" White Milk Glass Schoolhouse Light Shade

Description :
This 14" diameter milk glass light shade features a classic schoolhouse silhouette with a gentle bell-shaped contour, transitioning into a stepped flange with a 5⅜" opening. At 9" in height, this globe presents a slightly compact profile perfect for kitchens, foyers, or vintage industrial pendant lighting. The high-gloss opal finish evenly diffuses light, offering soft illumination. A few light scuffs and flecks near the flange are consistent with reclaimed glassware. No cracks or structural damage observed. A clean and timeless piece ready to elevate restoration projects or add character to new builds.
