These are cast in plain round glass spheres and then carved into these shapes. I bust the glass off the second day and use an old paring knife to carve designs into them like spirals or crossbars (I use different widths of tape to get the lines right). Plain round ones are also nice mixed in with carved ones. I like to have a grouping in a variety of sizes and shapes. If you can find big globes they can be used to cast planters. I fill them with sand before busting the glass off to give them extra reinforcement. Then it is just a matter of carving out the excess on the inside with a spoon (it's always too thick at the bottom as the tufa slumps, and the rim always looks better if it is evenly thick all around) and carving off a clean rim edge.

I bought a light fixture online that specified a 24 inch diameter. However, when my electrician installed it, it looked smaller than that. It is 17 inches across and 22 inches including the lamp shades. (This is a 5 arm chandelier with 5 inch shades over each bulb, Brand is Walker/Lights UP). I have written to the company but I am hoping there is a way to make this fixture look more proportioned to the size of the table, if this is possible. I am considering having the fixture lowered closer to the table. Right now it is 36 inches from the bottom of the fixture to the table top. Would this help? Please help!

Daniel, that one from Spain looks very close. I have emailed Spain to see if they produce it in a larger size and a direct ceiling mount. Thanks again.

I would not do a hanging light there, its kind of strange as it is. If you put something that sits up in the coffer it might look better. Im mostly confused at why keep the recessed area at all but if it was me I would do a semi-flush that sits up in there rather than hang something that really is not centered to anything. Sheet rock it and put in the outlet so it falls over the table. https://marianahome.com/collections/glam/products/swindell-5-light-semi-flush-mount https://www.overstock.com/Lighting-Ceiling-Fans/Rashawn-Antique-Bronze-4-Light-Semi-flush-Mount-with-Crystal-Shade/22290284/product.html
