Vintage 1950s Floral Glass Semi Flush Ceiling Light Fixture
1950s Semi-Flush Ceiling Light Frosted Glass Bowl Shade Enameled Floral Vintage
The frosted glass bowl shade you have been searching for — original 1950s enameled floral, still intact, still beautiful.
This vintage semi-flush ceiling light is the workhorse of the postwar American home, and this one is exactly right. The frosted glass bowl shade carries white enamel decoration — roses, ribbon swags, and a scalloped rim border — that glows soft and warm the moment the bulb lights. Wide and shallow, the bowl diffuses light gently across the ceiling, the low-profile silhouette perfect for bedrooms, hallways, kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways where a pendant or chandelier would hang too low. Compatible with standard medium base bulb sockets. Mid-century in character, this glass is vintage original 1950s — not a reproduction — and shows its age honestly: light surface wear and a small pinhole in the white enamel confirm it. The fixture pairs the original vintage glass shade with a new white semi-flush ceiling base, cleaned, detailed, and ready to hang in any postwar, Cape Cod, ranch, or cottage interior.
MEASUREMENTS
The fixture measures 13 1/4 inches in diameter. Overall installed height is 8 1/2 inches from the ceiling to the bottom of shade.
ELECTRICAL
The fixture accepts a standard medium base bulb. Maximum 60 watts. Compatible with LED, incandescent, or CFL bulbs. Bulb not included. Rated for dry indoor locations only. As a custom-assembled vintage fixture, this light is not UL Listed.
CONDITION
The frosted glass bowl shade is vintage original, circa 1950s. It shows light surface wear and a small pinhole in the white enamel floral decoration, consistent with age and normal for decorated glass of this period. The white semi-flush ceiling base is new. The fixture has been cleaned and detailed and is ready to install.

Can't Find the Part?
Looking for a matching sconce, a replacement shade, or an odd-sized fitter? Send us a photo and measurements. A large portion of our inventory is uncataloged. Many of the doors, windows, fireplace surrounds, bath fixtures, and architectural pieces in the yard never make it to the website. If you don't see it online, that doesn't mean we don't have it.
