This is basically for Loetzbuddies and Hornet, who are also Czech shade collectors.
Pic. 1: chandelier and PK shades like the one Loetzbuddies just posted. My absolute favorites, I have a hard time putting them away for even part of the year.
Pic. 2, A pair with 3" fitters. Major damage to the fitter part, but who cares. It does not show.
Pic. 3: a 5" single, 2.25" fitter.
Pic. 4: a vase and an inkwell in the same pattern
These shades appear in the Richardson "Teplitz shades" catalog of 1911. When it comes to Czech shades, I always look for other items in the same or a similar decor. So far, I have found Kralik and PK decors in vases, inkwells and shades. Do notice the pink threading and chevrons with green spots.

speachless... absolutely gorgeous all of it!!
One also has to develop a lot of patience. Some of my sets of 4 shades (because of the chandelier) have taken me 10, 15 years to put together.
Fantabulous!...:-)
Bellissimo!
Sometimes it has taken me 20 years to find 4 matching shades. And I always keep extras just in case . . . .
Always Best . I know some times take many many years to collect a set of 3 / 4 Shades ..
Thanks . Alfredo really : )
