3 & 4 Inch Glass Lamp Shades - Lip & Straight Fitters

3 & 4 Inch Glass Lamp Shades - Lip & Straight Fitters

Discover our collection of vintage-style glass lamp shades with 3 1/4" and 4" fitter openings. These authentic reproductions from the gas lighting era feature both lip fitters (screw-mount) and straight fitters (sit-on) to fit a variety of antique and reproduction fixtures.

Understanding Fitter Sizes:

  • 3 1/4" fitter opening - Outside glass diameter approximately 3"
  • 4" fitter opening - Outside glass diameter approximately 3 7/8"
  • Lip fitters - Attach with three screws for secure mounting
  • Straight fitters - Sit directly on the fixture without screws

Features of Our Gas Era Reproductions:

  • Authentic period styling - Faithful reproductions of gas lighting era designs
  • Quality glass construction - Durable materials with vintage charm
  • Versatile mounting options - Choose lip or straight fitters based on your fixture
  • Perfect for restoration - Ideal for antique fixtures and vintage-inspired lighting
  • Decorative and functional - Add elegance while providing beautiful light diffusion

How to Choose: Measure the opening on your fixture (the fitter size). The outside diameter of the glass will be slightly smaller to fit properly. Lip fitters work with fixtures that have screw holes, while straight fitters simply rest on top of the fixture.
