Opal Hobnail Oil Lamp Shade vs Amber Hurricane Glass Shade 51mm Base
Buy the Amber Glass Hobnail shade if you are replacing a globe on an oil or hurricane lamp with a 10-inch bottom fitter. It is hand-blown opal milk glass with a crimped top, and owners report it fits the frame and matches the old globe it replaced. The Amber Hurricane Glass Shade with 51mm Base is a small pendant shade, not a lamp globe, so it only suits a fixture that takes a 2-3/4 inch neck. On build, the hobnail shade is the sturdier, more specific part; the 51mm shade is a simple cone with a dry-location rating.
- Choose the Amber Glass Hobnail Oil Hurricane Lamp Shade if your lamp takes a 10-inch bottom fitter and you want a hand-blown American opal glass globe with a crimped top.
- Choose the Amber Hurricane Glass Shade with 51mm Base if you are dressing a pendant or small fixture with a 2-3/4 inch neck and want a warm amber cone.
