Vintage Frosted Embossed Glass Dome Shade – 8" Diameter x 4" Tall

Description :
This charming vintage frosted glass dome shade features an elegant embossed grapevine and leaf motif, adding a soft decorative touch to any ceiling or wall fixture. Measuring 8 inches in diameter and 4 inches tall, the shade’s gently domed form provides diffused, even lighting—ideal for period restorations, hall fixtures, or flush-mount ceiling lights. Each shade displays minor surface wear and light patina from age but remains structurally solid with no visible cracks or chips. The frosted finish softens illumination beautifully while the raised vine detailing adds texture and character, making these pieces a fine choice for vintage-inspired or transitional interiors.
