Very nice, I wonder what they would look like if you had one stacked on the other ?
~Phil.
Gorgeous
I just saw four of these the other day in a vintage lamp store. They were a deep amber colour. These are beauties!
Thank you, Phil. I like your idea of more is better. Not sure if these would stack like Alfredo's posting of his Krasno shades. I can't confirm with a show and tell, because I don't own them anymore and that is why I posted the shades on CW, as they were a personal favorite. Will keep it mind when there is a next time.
Here is the link of Al's posting to see what it looks like to stack Krasno floriform shades:

Thanks, Gary. Nicely put.
Hey Mac, please tell me you did not leave them there? ha! :) Finding a set of 4 is hard to come by these days.
Thanks Dave and Kevin for the love.
Have a Great Thanksgiving, Everyone!
Guys I've run of lamp space! Better stacked than in a a closet!
stunning and very very beautiful:)
Hey Al... that's bragging rights! lol Spoken true.. better stacked than in a closet.
and Thank you very, very much Sean. :)
your very welcome LeahGoodwin:)
Thanks for the link Leah, not quite as good as I thought to stack them, but probably better if the shade is the same colour. Wonder if I will ever come across these shades as they are so nice !~Phil.
Thanks again, Phil. :)
Best wishes in your search and if you ever find any, please post!
Thanks for the love, Spiritinthesky3.
What a beauty. There is something too about those colours together, no? A set of four would be great in my collection. :O) Of course a set of four would be fabulous in anyone's collection. ;o)
