Have a question about this piece?

A small Italian pendant light from the 1970s, in thick handmade bubbled glass that looks almost melted. Part of the shade is clear, part is sanded to a frosted finish; it hangs from a white and chrome fitting with a wooden ceiling element.

The frosted band softens the light, while the clear, uneven glass shows its texture. It fits a small room, an entryway or a kitchen. The glass is intact, with no cracks or chips; the metal and the wooden base show visible scratches and signs of age. It is fully working.

All pieces use standard Edison screw fittings: E27 (large, most pendants and sconces) or E14 (small, table lamps and multi-arm chandeliers). A handful of pieces use halogen — noted in the listing. E27 and E26 are interchangeable with a simple ring adapter.

These are straightforward socket circuits with no built-in electronics, so they're fully voltage-agnostic — just fit a bulb rated for your local voltage (110V or 220V) and it works.

Plug-in lamps: you'll need a standard EU-to-local plug adapter (EU Type C/F to US Type A/B, UK Type G, AU Type I, etc.). No voltage converter required.

Outside the EU, please have a local electrician check the lamp before use.

Every vintage piece here was blown and shaped by hand in Italy, most of it in Murano glass, and no two are exactly alike. Lighting from those decades was made to last, with thick glass, solid metal and careful proportions, and it gives the soft, warm glow that new lamps rarely manage. It is sculpture as much as light: it moves with you from home to home, keeps its value, and stays beautiful for another fifty years.
