WE HAVE ANOTHER IN STOCK,

This is our slumped fruit lamp shade which is available from stock. The shade has about 300 pieces of Glass.

This is a much simpler piece than our previous project, the Lotus, in that the shape is plainer, and the detail is more open. The background was made with Spectrum white yellow, with Uroboros glass in the highlight band. Bullseye Glass was used for the green of the leaves.

Here is what we used for this project:
