Bell Shade 2 1/4 Inch Fitter Clear Ribbed Glass Scalloped Vintage Sconce Lamp


The Bell Shade That Completes a Fixture Most Sellers Forget Existed

A 2 1/4 inch fitter bell shade in this exact ribbed pattern is the kind of part restorers search for for months — and the moment it finally clicks into place on a sconce, pendant, or table lamp, the whole fixture comes back to life. This one is vintage clear pressed glass, alternating smooth and finely textured panels rising to a soft, hand-finished scalloped edge, the kind of detail glasshouses turned out in the early-to-mid 20th century for period lighting. It carries the warm, slightly amber tint along the fitter ring that tells you it's the real thing, not a modern reproduction. Small fitter fixtures like this are exactly what so many collectors and repair shops struggle to source — wall sconces, ceiling pendants, hanging fixtures, and small table lamps all took this 2 1/4 inch fitter standard, which makes this little bell shade quietly essential to anyone restoring period lighting. The glass is in very good condition, free of cracks or chips, with only the light manufacturing variation and gentle wear you'd expect from a shade that's been doing its job for the better part of a century. Whether you're matching a set, replacing a casualty, or finishing a fixture that's sat dark too long, this is the shade that gets it lit again.


MEASUREMENTS
The shade stands 4 1/4 inches tall. It measures 4 5/8 inches across at its widest point. It is fitted for a 2 1/4 inch fitter.


CONDITION
This is a vintage original glass shade, not a reproduction. It is in very good condition with no cracks, chips, or significant damage noted. Light wear and minor manufacturing inconsistencies consistent with its age may be present, including slight variation in the panel texture and a faint amber tone along the fitter ring.

The Vintporium Heritage Standard

The Heritage Standard

Restored by hand, one at a time. Old wire out. New wire rated for present use, sound sockets, and grounding where the fixture allows. The body, glass, finish, and the marks it earned stay. Every fixture is tested on the bench before it leaves the shop.

About the Founder

Joe Golda has run Vintporium from his workshop in San José since 2008. He sources the pieces, pulls the old wiring, rewires them, finishes them by hand, and packs them himself. One person, one bench, one standard. Every fixture is tested — each socket, each switch — before it ships. What's original is called original. What's new is called new. We call this commitment to candor and craft our Heritage Standard.
