Even those lampshades Of MOSAIC In
softly tinted glass are not blurred
and softened sufficiently for the de-
light OF some color artist and new
glass is being tried. The designs are
similar to those on the mosaic but the
color is applied only on the underside
of the glass, next to the light. The
whole pattern and coloring are toned
down and given an exquisitely in
definite, blurry effect by an outer
layer of ground glass. Whether there
are actually two layers welded to-
gether or whether the colors are
painted on the inner surface cannot
be determined by casual inspec-
ton.
One remarkably beautiful electrol-
Ter In this ware has perfectly fiat,
rounded top with four slight indenta-
tons. The fiuted sides. 6 or inches
deep, drop perpendicularIy. The col
orings used are those Of rich autumn
leaves.
The shape has much to do with
the beauty OF many OF the new lamps.
Another fine shade, In tinted glass In
neutral yellow shades, mounted In
satin finished brass. is In pagoda
shape -Four triangles gently sloped,
form the top. Where the ordinary
shade would end this one turns IN at
a sharp angle for couple Of inches,
thus preventing that unfinished look
at the edge, and hiding the inner side.
The shape might well be adapted for
the hanging lamps the effect OF which
especially in mosaic glass Is often
spoiled by the sight Of a rough,
"seamy" interior. Another way IN
which glimpse Of the ugly inside Is
prevented is to have four separate
shades in the lamps. Each electric
bulb is inclosed in tiny square shade
mission finish. with green glass and
green bead fringe, not much bigger
than a candle shade The four are
suspended from the top OF the stand
ard by heavy black chains.
