The look is both Art Deco and midcentury. What I like about these shades are the very useable size. The diameter is only 9.75 inches. It is white milk glass and the shade takes on the hue of the bulb used. It gives a nice pleasing glow with no glare. Perfect for a kitchen island. We have a nice collection of these that are priced per lamp. This way you can buy just one or the whole collection.
