The gently waisted shape is modern and sleek, making it suitable for Western-style rooms. The way the light shines when the bulb is on is also stylish. In the past, glass cutting technology was not as advanced, so there are some imperfections, such as chips, often seen in old lampshades. There are air bubbles in the glass, which is a characteristic of old glass and adds to the atmosphere. *Bulbs, sockets, and holders are not included; this price is for the lampshade only.
