Thea Glass Lamp Shade Amber vs Opal Hobnail Oil Lamp Shade
These are different parts, not substitutes. The Thea is a small amber glass shade, 6 in. wide and 4.7 in. tall, for a socket- or clip-style lamp. The hobnail shade is a 10-inch bottom-fitter globe for an oil or hurricane lamp, hand blown in opal milk glass. Buy the Thea to replace a small amber shade; buy the hobnail if your lamp takes a 10-inch fitter. Owners of the hobnail praise the glass and the fit; the Thea has little owner feedback to go on.
- Choose the Thea Glass Shade in Amber if you need a small amber glass shade around 6 inches wide for a table or accent lamp.
- Choose the Amber Glass Hobnail Oil Hurricane Lamp Shade if your oil or hurricane lamp has a 10-inch bottom fitter and you want a hand-blown opal globe.
