Vintage Bell Shade 2 1/4 Inch Fitter Etched Frosted Glass Starburst

The Bell Shade Every Restorer Is Searching For — Etched Frosted Glass, Sized Right for a 2 1/4 Inch Fitter

Bell shade collectors and lamp restorers know the moment they see it — that soft, frosted glow paired with a crisp etched starburst pattern, exactly the kind of detail that turns a half-finished fixture into a completed restoration. This vintage bell-shaped shade brings a gentle, even diffusion of light through its frosted glass body, with numerous etched starburst medallions catching the eye without overwhelming the simplicity of the form. Cut for a standard 2 1/4 inch fitter, it slips easily into sconces, vanity light fixtures, pendant lights, and a wide range of antique and vintage lighting setups built to that same fitter standard — a versatile, period-appropriate choice for anyone restoring early-century lighting. This is a true vintage piece, carrying the small marks and manufacturing quirks of its era rather than the uniformity of a reproduction. Whether you're completing a treasured family lamp, outfitting a vanity light, or sourcing the right fitter size for a sconce restoration, this etched frosted glass shade offers the authenticity collectors and designers look for.
