Vintage Clear Glass Tapered Chimney Shade – 4½" Diameter x 9" Tall

This vintage clear glass chimney-style light shade features a slender, tapered silhouette with a cylindrical neck and flared base. Measuring 4½ inches in diameter and 9 inches tall, it’s designed to fit standard oil lamp or pendant light fixtures with a compatible fitter ring.

Each piece remains in solid vintage condition with minor surface wear and light dust consistent with age. These were commonly used in pendant lighting, wall sconces, and postwar fixtures where visibility and light projection were priorities.
