Globe Series Bubble Shade
Starting at $1,850 USD
Our globe glass shades are seemingly simple designs that are exceedingly difficult to make. We offer two silhouettes of this poetically quiet design – a true/traditional globe and an egg-shaped – both crafted domestically by skilled artisans in a highly choreographed dance of mouth blowing and hand shaping. Each silhouette can be specified in a choice of three glass tones (clear, nude and gradient), three sizes, and three fitters from which the glass globe hangs: pipe, chain or wooden sock (sold separately).
When purchasing, please select a shade and a fitter.
Stephen Alesch and Robin Standefer’s Roman and Williams Guild Original Designs are each branded with our insignia and delivered with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Our globe glass shades are poetically quiet designs, offered in bubble or egg shapes, and hand made domestically.
Artisans skillfully employ gravity to create a warm, milky gradient glass shade using our proprietary color formula.
A seemingly simple form that’s exceedingly hard to make–one in ten meet our standards.
Each shade hangs from a pipe, chain or wood sock fitter that is hand made in an age-old French workshop.
