Slag Glass Inverted Dome, Circa 1915

Leaded Slag Glass Inverted Domes were made by slumping or bending parts of sheets of Slag Glass and shaping them into very interesting designs of different colors and texture. The bending was done by heating the glass in a kiln until it " slumped " to form the shape of the various molds that were used. After the desired shape was created the piece of glass was surrounded by copper or lead foil which then allowed the pieces to be " leaded " together with a soldering iron to form the Inverted Dome.

These Antique Inverted Domes are very often associated with the Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau period. Their spare but interesting designs work well with the parallel lines in Arts & Crafts furniture. Then some of these Antique Lights had a more organic feel to them.

This 8 panel white slag glass inverted dome has cameo metal relief of floral detail. The dark brown of the metal is a great contrast to the white slag glass which is visible through the design of the decoration in each panel. This inverted dome is quite large, 19 and 1/2 inches in diameter. It would make a great foyer light in a large entryway or also be the main light in a larger room, perhaps a Dining room.

The rope effect banding along the top of the bowl and the flute canopy are also nice details making this fixture particularly beautiful. There is a light cluster with three porcelain sockets inside that will provide plenty of illumination.

Gas J

 

A Gas J is a somewhat utilitarian fixture although we have had some that are quite fancy. The simple ones were often the fixtures for the Kitchens and the Servants Quarters. They were also used over Washstands on the sides and in the corners of bedrooms.

Nowadays they make a great small hall or small room fixture. In a bathroom with a pair of sconces, a Gas J can make a great ceiling fixture. Three J's over a Kitchen Island has been done.
