Sorry but really I have no idea why this fixture is so special

Try visiting a Habitat Restore. They usually have glass shades,

Like your fixture.

Stained glass would work well with the solid black.

LED bulbs provide light w/o the heat of other bulbs and that could increase your options.

Try Rejuvenation--they have lots of glass shades that would work with your fixture. The original shade is very beautiful.

Patrica Colwell - It is special because the poster likes it. I'm sure you didn't mean your post to have a snarky tone.

A seeded bubble glass comes to mind for me....are the globes going to shine up or down? Can we see the whole room the fixture will be in too? Thanks!

Have to agree with Patricia. Why are we even talking about optimizing around a Home Depot type fixture?

Strategery, no one is forcing you to talk about optimizing this fixture. The homeowner likes the fixture and would like to replace the shades. End of story.

Not the end, you fail as interior designer by trying to have the absolute last word. I am obviously not forced to be here and neither are you. Trying to help in this open forum.

The problem is that any shades that are "...nature inspired, rustic and clean lines" will clash with that chandelier, which is none of those 3 things.

Do you have the original shades? I think that anything that goes with that body will have to be similar to the style of the ones that were on it.

Oh how cranky people make me laugh! Thanks Patricia Colwell Consulting & strategery for providing that this morning - I hope you feel better soon.

The fixture is an approximently 20 year old Murray Fiess. My parents owned a lighting store back in the day before the big box stores came to be and put a dent in the small mom and pop businesses. That being said, it is a decent piece and I like making due with what I have verses spending money left and right......hence looking for replacment glasses.

I thank you all for the recommendations and suggestions. I agree with you tatts - that's why I posted - trying to make it work.....which may not work. It will work with my transitional decor, so I will go in that direction instead :-)

Looking forward to checking out the sites that you all mentioned. Thank you.
