Updated July 2020: Here are a few ceiling light shades that look like they have been around for decades — and it’s still made new today, in two sizes, 13″ and 15″ in diameter.
Thanks for this tip from reader Casey, who wrote:
We got so many ideas from your website, we wanted to help other people with the same thing. I discovered while searching for vintage round light shades for semi flush mount fixtures, SATCO still makes a vintage shade brand new in 13 and 15 inch, with a 7/16 center hole. There are a couple of retailers that offer them, but if you search for SATCO round glass shade they should come up.
Love your site, Casey
Note: If you are looking for etched shades like these, I often see them at the ReStore too. And remember, if you’re buying the entire fixtures, it’s wise to have the old wiring checked by a pro first.
Thanks, Casey! Like I said: I will be these have been around a long long time!
Where to buy decorative starburst glass shades (and see other sections of their site for other retro lighting parts):
- Satco ceiling light glass — but note, they are a manufacturer, head to their dealer locator to find a local retailer.
- AND, see the diffusers also available at Lamp Parts Plus.
Note, the original 2019 version of this story showed other shades available, including a yummy gold starburst print. Referring back to this story to help with another reader question, I discovered them now gone, so edited this story accordingly.

We just installed the starburst one and it looks great! The design is more gold looking than the yellow that it looks like online.
