Measuring a Melon Lamp Shade
- Shade-fitter is the bottom edge diameter of lampshade. This measurement is typically slightly less than 10″.
- Shade-fitter sits in shade ring, tripod or spider for support.
- Opening in shade-holder, where shade sits, will be the fitter size.
- 10″ fitter lampshades proportionally fit: 9″ – 10-1/2″ lamp bases. Occasionally they are seen on taller lamps.
- Lampshades are blown glass. Glass blowing techniques can cause slight differences in glass-thickness. These differences can affect bottom diameter and weight of lampshade.
- If needing a pair please order together to assure match.
