Each shade is mold-blown into a rounded dome of light amber glass with a faint pink cast, worked with a raised spiral and small beaded bubbles that break up the light. They are attributed to helena tynell (1918–2016), the finnish designer who spent three decades at riihimäki glass, where she created the sun bottle in 1964, and who also designed lighting glass for german makers including glashütte limburg. Newly rewired and hardwired, each fixture takes a single b22 bayonet socket. The listed height is the full fixture, glass included. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
