A charming pair of antique white milk glass hanging smoke bells featuring gracefully ruffled rims and integral glass suspension rings. Originally designed to hang above oil or kerosene lamps, smoke bells helped protect ceilings from rising soot and heat while adding a decorative finishing element to the lamp arrangement.
Each bell is formed in glossy opaque white milk glass with a softly domed body and dramatically undulating ruffled edge. An integral glass ring at the top allows the bell to be suspended above a lamp. One of the two retains a vintage metal S-shaped hanging hook.
Although closely related in design, the two smoke bells are not perfectly identical. There are slight differences in overall diameter, suspension-ring opening, and milk-glass tone. One appears subtly warmer/darker than the other, a difference that is considerably less pronounced in person than it may appear in some photographs. These variations add to the character of the antique pair.
Wonderful architectural lighting accessories for a Victorian, traditional, cottage, farmhouse, or collected interior. They may be displayed suspended above antique kerosene or oil lamps or appreciated as decorative examples of period milk glass.
Sold as a pair. Oil/kerosene lamps and additional hanging hardware are not included.
