Vintage Antique Entry Way 3 Chain Lantern Aqua Opaline Glass Very Old Lamp Shade

Rare Vintage Aqua Opaline Glass Shade – Hand-Painted Winter Bird Pattern – Dual Use: Hanging Lantern or Parlor Lamp Base This is the real deal – not a replica, not mass-produced. I personally rescued this stunning piece from a dilapidated, ivy-covered historic home in Natchez, Mississippi, where it had been forgotten for decades. Crafted in 1988 by Lenox (yes, the iconic American brand), this aqua opaline glass shade glows with that perfect soft, iridescent turquoise hue. Delicate hand-painted winter birds (think cardinals or finches in subtle grays and whites) adorn the sides, giving it a Victorian fairy-tale charm that feels straight out of the late 19th century – even though it’s from the late 20th. Key Features: • Beautiful lantern-style shape with a wide, flaring top opening • Solid bronze/brass-tone ring fitter at the base – perfect fit for standard parlor lamp bases (slides right on like it was made for it) • Three-chain suspension loops at the top – ready to hang as a foyer pendant or entryway lantern • Aquamarine exterior with creamy opaline interior for that magical diffused glow • No chips, cracks, or major wear – just authentic vintage patina and elegance • Made in Iowa, USA – true craftsmanship Versatile beauty: Use it as a hanging 3-chain pendant to cast dreamy light in your entryway, or mount it on a parlor lamp base for classic table/floor lamp vibes. Either way, it’s a one-of-a-kind statement piece. Rare- this pattern and combo (art nouveau/Victorian birds + aqua opaline + bronze fitter) is a true unicorn. Comparable plain vintage opaline pendants sell for $150–$400+, but this has the rare bird motif, provenance, and flexibility. Ships carefully packed and insured. Questions?
