Which is better for a kitchen island pendant?

The Inari. Its 7 in. cone shape and 51mm base are made for pendant fittings and push light down onto the counter. The Thea is a small oval shade better suited to a table or floor lamp.

Which one fits a standard table lamp?

The Thea. At 6 in. wide and 4.70 in. tall it drops onto a typical lamp harp or socket. The Inari's 2 3/4 in. base is sized for pendant hardware, not most table lamps.

Both are glass and neither has moving parts, so lifespan depends on handling. The Inari states a dry-location rating, which tells you to keep it away from moisture; the Thea gives no rating, so treat it the same way.

Is the Inari worth stepping up to over the Thea?

Only if you are lighting a pendant. The Inari gives a taller cone and a focused beam for islands and bars. For a lamp replacement, the Thea's wider oval is the more useful shape.

Will either one fit my existing fixture?

Measure the fitting first. The Inari needs a 51mm base opening. The Thea needs a harp or socket that holds a roughly 6 in. wide shade. Neither comes with mounting hardware beyond the shade itself.

Do they give the same light color?

Both are amber glass, so both warm the light. The Inari's cone concentrates it into a tighter pool, while the Thea's oval spreads a softer, wider glow.

Thea Glass Lamp Shade Amber vs Amber Hurricane Glass Shade 51mm Base

Buy the Thea if you need a small oval shade to replace a broken one on a table or floor lamp and want a simple drop-on fit. Buy the Inari if you are dressing a pendant over an island or bar and want a cone that throws a focused pool of light. Both are amber glass, so the real split is shape, size and how they mount, not quality. Owners of amber glass shades like these mostly report warm light and solid glass; the common complaint is that the fit and the color look different in person than on screen.

Choose the Thea if you want a compact oval glass shade for a table or floor lamp and need something that needs no assembly.
Choose the Inari if you are fitting a pendant light and want a taller cone shade with a 51mm base that directs light downward.
