The four common types are spider (sits on a harp, held by a finial), uno (screws onto the socket under the bulb), clip-on (clips directly to the bulb), and glass fitter neck (the shade neck slips into the fixture and is held by set screws).

US shades are measured in inches and usually use a spider\/harp fitting; UK and EU shades are measured in centimetres and more often use a ring (washer) or reducer fitting sized to the bulb holder, typically E27 or B22. Always confirm both the diameter and the fitting\/fitter type when ordering across regions.\"}},\n        {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can I get a replacement glass lamp shade in a custom size?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes. Measure the fitter neck diameter and the shade's top, bottom and height, and a glass lampshade manufacturer can reproduce it. Custom and replacement glass shades are made to your exact dimensions and fitter size, including discontinued and antique profiles, typically from a minimum order of 500 pieces.\"}}\n      ]\n    }\n  ]\n}\n<\/script><\/p>\n<style>\n@import url('https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Fraunces:opsz,wght@9..144,300;9..144,400;9..144,500;9..144,600;9..144,700;9..144,900&family=DM+Sans:wght@300;400;500;600;700&display=swap');\n:root{\n  --bg: #FAF7F2;\n  --bg-glass: #F5F1E8;\n  --bg-dark: #1A1614;\n  --bg-darker: #0F0C0A;\n  --text: #1A1614;\n  --text-muted: #6B6560;\n  --text-light: #FAF7F2;\n  --accent: #B8864A;\n  --accent-dark: #8C6435;\n  --accent-light: #D4A574;\n  --border: #E5DFD5;\n  --border-dark: #2A2522;\n  --seo-bg: #FFF9E6;\n  --seo-border: #E8B85A;\n  --seo-text: #5A4214;\n}\n.jxg-guide *{ margin: 0;

A shade written as 6 &#215; 12 &#215; 9 means a 6-inch top, 12-inch bottom and 9-inch slant height. <a href=\"#how-to-measure\">See the diagram above &#8594;<\/a><\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What size lamp shade do I need for my lamp?<\/summary>\n<p>Use two rules. <strong>Height:<\/strong> the shade should be about two-thirds the height of the lamp base. <strong>Width:<\/strong> the bottom of the shade should be at least as wide as the widest part of the base, ideally a couple of inches wider on each side, and wide enough to hide the socket and harp.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is a fitter on a lamp shade?<\/summary>\n<p>The fitter is the hardware that attaches the shade to the lamp. The four common types are <strong>spider<\/strong> (sits on a harp, held by a finial), <strong>uno<\/strong> (screws onto the socket under the bulb), <strong>clip-on<\/strong> (clips to the bulb), and <strong>glass fitter neck<\/strong> (the neck slips into the fixture and is held by set screws). Standard glass neck sizes are 1-5\/8&#8243;, 2-1\/4&#8243;, 3-1\/4&#8243; and 4&#8243;. <a href=\"#fitters\">Full fitter table &#8594;<\/a><\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is the standard lamp shade size for a table lamp?<\/summary>\n<p>Most table lamps take a shade with a bottom diameter of <strong>12 to 18 inches<\/strong> and a slant height of <strong>9 to 14 inches<\/strong>, usually in an empire, bell or drum shape. Keep the shade height at roughly two-thirds the height of the base.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Are UK, US and EU lamp shade sizes the same?<\/summary>\n<p>The shapes are the same, but the conventions differ. US shades are measured in inches and usually use a spider\/harp fitting; UK and EU shades are measured in centimetres and more often use a ring (washer) or reducer sized to the bulb holder (E27 or B22). Always confirm both the diameter and the fitting type when ordering across regions. <a href=\"#international\">See the comparison &#8594;<\/a><\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can I get a replacement glass lamp shade in a custom size?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes.
