A set of 5 matching hard to find ruby red glass lamp shades with a bell shape and crimped bottom edges. The shades appear to be formed by hand and do not show any mold markings I could find. The crimping around the bottoms seems to have been hand pinched because of slight variations in the shape and thickness of the crimps. The shades have a deep red color that is difficult to capture in my photos. I believe these are referred to as flashed glass. They have an “optic” effect when viewed with a light behind them. They are unmarked and undated but appear to be vintage and possibly antique, but uncertain of their age or origin. One of the 5 has a small amount of color loss under the fitter area that doesn`t seem to detract from the beauty. It also has one spot slightly lower along the top of the bell curve that is perhaps 1/8 inch in size that has lost its red color. Each shade is approximately 4 5/8 in. Tall with a 2 in. The crimped bottoms are approximately 5 in. The item “Lamp Shades Ruby Red Set of 5 Crimped Edge Optic Glass Vintage VG” is in sale since Saturday, October 3, 2020.
