A pair of vintage Art Deco glass pendant lampshades of typically 1940s style, each measuring approximately 14cm (5.5in) in height and 14cm (5.5in) in diameter, with a white banded painted finish to the upper portion, the lower portion being pale amber/brown with alternate textured and transparent bands, the latter with a varying degree of lustre, plus three narrow yellow painted bands. The lampholder holes are of standard size (approximately 2.9cm / 1.15in in diameter), and thus the shades will fit standard UK plastic pendant lampholders. The base edge of one shade has three small chips, and the base edges of both shades have some roughness and nibbling, much of which probably dates from manufacture; there is likewise some roughness to the lampholder holes (not visible when the shades are hung). There are various slight surface marks (including the stubborn residue of an old price label at the top of one shade), and the glass contains numerous tiny air bubbles and other slight imperfections.
