Fabula Springfield 30cm Oval Sphere Ribbed Shade - Petrol Blue Glass - Shade Only

Deep Water Light for Any Standard Socket

This ribbed glass shade arrives as a standalone piece, ready to transform an existing pendant or lamp base into something with more presence and personality. Thirty centimetres of petrol blue catches and breaks up light rather than pushing it straight through, creating a softer, more atmospheric illumination that feels thoughtful without being too dark or moody.

Choosing Your Finish

The petrol blue tone sits between navy and teal, cooling down a warm brass frame or warming up cooler nickel and chrome finishes. The ribbed texture is part of the glass itself, giving it real depth rather than a surface decoration. If the Springfield range appeals to you, similar shades exist in other colours across the collection, so you can collect different tones to use in different rooms.

How It Works

The E27 socket mount fits virtually all domestic pendant lights and lamp bases without any modification. The IP20 rating means this shade is for dry indoor use only and cannot be exposed to splashing water, steam, or humid environments. Install it wherever your existing pendant or lamp takes it, and the ribbed surface scatters light rather than concentrating it in any one direction.

Where It Works Best

Bedrooms gain a contemplative glow with this shade overhead, while living rooms and hallways benefit from its ability to diffuse light without creating glare. Dining rooms where you want colour without drama work well too, and it suits darker cabinetry and neutral walls equally. The petrol tone pairs naturally with timber accents and works across both warm and cool decor schemes.

Design Details

The ribs are cast directly into the glass during manufacture, which means they won't wear away or deteriorate with cleaning and regular use. The shade began as a sphere before being shaped, so the ribbing follows the natural contour of the form rather than being applied as an afterthought. This approach gives it visual substance and makes the texture do the work of light diffusion rather than just sitting on the surface.

Questions People Ask

Will this fit my existing light fitting?
If it has an E27 socket, yes. That's the standard domestic lamp holder size. Check the fixture for the socket size marking to be sure.

How is the ribbed finish cleaned?
A soft cloth and gentle dusting are all you need. The ribs are integral to the glass, not carved grooves, so there's nowhere for dust to accumulate.

How much light gets through petrol blue glass?
Enough to light a room without glare. It's translucent rather than opaque, so light passes through but filtered to a softer, cooler tone.
