I have been leaning towards the first one. It is from Murray Feiss, Urban Renewal collection $79. I liked the second but I was also thinking about the cleaning aspect of the linen shade. I have looked at both Lowes and Home Depot and agree they both have some really nice lights. I haven't found one that is simple enough but that still has style. Murray Feiss also has another light that looks similar to a drum shade but is glass: http://www.amazon.com/Murray-Feiss-P1098GBZ-One-Light-Collection/dp/B000LS32ME What do you think of this one?

I've ordered many glass shades for chandelier/wall sconces that we manufacture, and the price does vary greatly depending on where the glass is made and also the quantities produced at one time. I actually found the least expensive glass source in New Jersey, but they had a minimum order of 1,000 which was not a problem, since our chandeliers require eight glass shades each, and the price was lower than ordering 200 shades from France or Italy. We also have wall sconces that use the same shade. An older chandelier that we make only has six shades per chandelier, however. I used to get custom glass shades made in France by Vianne, but when the company went out of business, the French government confiscated our molds, and so I no longer order glass from France. The light fixture in my house has a 1-1/8" fitting, and that is what I use at work, but it is very difficult to find retail. I think Lighting Direct is a good source - I talked with them on the phone, and they were very helpful and even recommended other sources.

Hello everyone!! I NEED HELP!!! I purchased 2 Duke Oversized Pendants (16 inch overall diameter) in 2020 on Pottery Barn site. They make my whole kitchen!! The glass on one of them broke and Pottery Barn site says No Longer available! Ive been in tears for weeks!!! Can anyone tell me where I can find one of these?? My email is ginamt2@yahoo.com. Thank you for any help you can give! Ive attached a pic of the pendant and one of my kitchen so you can see the beautiful lights above my island!

I have the same pendants as @mihelene. I have NO issues with glare although plenty of folks on this site warned about that and said it would be a problem ----- it has not been. I will second, though, that they do have to be cleaned regularly and that is another task to keep up on; although I often wonder if I had something not clear, surely it would be getting just as dirty and need cleaning.....? Maybe I should just feel grateful that my lights make me keep a cleaner house. ;) Also, it seems to me that the height of your ceiling isn't such an issue as the height the pendants are recommended to be hung is 30-36" above your counter top regardless of what height your ceiling is. I have 9' ceilings and my globes are about 15.5" long. I don't think an 8' ceiling would be a problem. (My sister in law has 8' ceilings and she just installed fixtures similar to your posted picture. They seem bigger than mine (perhaps just in width) and they look good.)
