Here is my red Ruckl Shade globe/shade.
These shades are so beautiful with the red and other marbled colours...
When it shines it looks like looking into a vulcano.
You don't find a lot of these shades in different colours besides the red ones.
This shade is made of a very thick glass, this in contrast to the all green one I have too, that one is made of a very very thin glass.
I do love these shades..
