The elongated bullet or teardrop form features a satin opalescent finish, a 3.25-inch fitter opening, and exhibits strong UV fluorescence consistent with uranium-containing glass. Offered as the original glass shade only, without fitter or mounting hardware.

The elegant spiral optic ribbing enhances both the visual texture and the diffusion of light, creating a refined decorative effect whether displayed illuminated or as part of a period lighting restoration. Its elongated profile reflects the influence of Art Nouveau lighting design, while the uranium-containing glass produces the vivid fluorescence prized by collectors when viewed under long-wave ultraviolet light.

Collectors of antique lighting, uranium glass, and architectural salvage value examples that retain their original form without damage. The standard 3.25-inch fitter opening also makes this shade suitable for many period pendant, ceiling, and swag light restorations.
