Rare Set of 3 Vintage Art Deco Custard Glass Slip-In Cup Shades – 1930s Fired Enamel
Featuring a striking, geometric multi-tiered hourglass silhouette, these shades perfectly embody the machine-age aesthetics of the mid-1930s. When illuminated, they cast a remarkably soft, warm, and inviting vintage glow.
Authentic Manufacturing Details:
The beautiful pastel peach hue is a beautifully preserved, original 1930s externally fired-on enamel decoration (fired flashing) over a translucent glass base blank, crowned by an elegant, delicate gold-luster upper rim. This specific manufacturing process is highly characteristic of premium 1930s lighting manufacturers like Markel Electric Products and Moe Bridges.
Dimensions:
• Fitter Outer Diameter: 4.5 cm (Fits standard 1 ¾ inch slip-in socket cups)
• Maximum Width/Depth: 13 cm (The flared middle section)
• Top Open Diameter: 9.5 cm
• Height: 10 cm
• Weight: Approx 150 grams (each)
Condition Report (Please Read):
• Fitter Bases: All three pieces exhibit typical shallow chips and "fleabite" rough spots along the bottom edge of the raw glass fitter rims (as shown in the close-up photos). These are entirely isolated to the mounting neck and are completely hidden from view once the shades are slipped down inside their metal socket cups.
• Visible Bodies: The upper visible glass bodies, multi-tiered flared shoulders, fired enamel finish, and gold rims are beautifully preserved with no cracks, major surface scratches, or significant finish loss.
Perfect for a 3-arm Art Deco chandelier, a matching set of slip-cup wall sconces, or a pair of bedroom boudoir lamps.
