Thanks for the loves everyone.
You'd feel right at home n my house . . . .
Wow...!
Pretty nice collection of shades you have there....
I love the two star shades and the red/black and white one the most..
Although the green one is nice too, accept the photo is a bit blurry..
Looks like they were bought some time ago, with these prices..... can't buy them anymore for those prices....
I really love the red/black one... would like to swap with one of mine anytime.
I have recently bought some (star)shades, they are on its way to me...
Really love your shades,I enjoy them very much.
Thank you for showing..
Thanks for the loves everyone.
Thanks for the kind words Al and Marc.
Marc I will see if I can get a better picture of the green one tomorrow. Yes, the price tags are quite old. The receipt shown is from '84, older than me lol.
I would not be interested in swapping for another spatter shade. However, if it is something you would ever consider parting with, I have had my eyes on this since it was listed ...

I am thinking about keeping all the red ones and trying to find 1 more reddish star globe and making a long mission oak box/fixture to house them. However, for the uranium globe, I would gladly consider scrapping that idea.
(can you tell I have a thing for glass that glows? :) )
Al, I will likely put at least 1 or 2 up for adoption. Too hard to decide though so I just keep putting it off :).
Hello. again.
Well I was looking through my collection and I was really shocked when I found my beautiful shade with a big hole and a crack in it....
It seems while storing, I accidently tipped it against an other shade with this as a result...the glass is extremely thin..
I cannot tell you how I felt....
A stunning shade lost for ever. I can't get it over my heart to trow it away... it still looks good on one side..
I am so sorry.....
Hi Marc. No need to apologize to me.
Sorry to hear about the shade, bet you were crushed. Hopefully you (and me :) ) are both able to find another. Also, I couldn't toss it either.
Peoplei glass houses must get used to breakage . . . . This is a fact of life I know only too well!
