Rare MacDonald Leaded Shade, Bigelow Kennard, Leaded, Slag Shade, Handel Lamp Era
He was a teacher of stained glass to Louis Comfort Tiffany. If you search MacDonald theres a Wikipedia article. Also on Leaded Lamps Dot Com theres some pictures of this shade on a Grueby Lamp base. This shade was a mystery on who made the shade since its only signed MacDonald. I herd it could of been his Son or Daughter. That cleared the confusion on who made the shade. Donald Newton MacDonald was the son that ended up being the head of the Stained glass lamp department of Bigelow & Kennard lamp co. So now I believe that these signed MacDonald Leaded shades are Prototypes to show Bigelow & Kennard his work and was hired and the same shades where then signed Bigelow & Kennard as we see today. This shade is exceptional. The shade is 20 in Diameter with a 3 1/2 aperture top opening. The condition is mint. I hate to say that but I cant find a crack maybe a very small one up by the top in the green glass. The leading is amazing just like all Bigelow shades. The glass has a hammered type green glass and a beautiful White Clam Broth bottom glass as Bigelow used in a lot of there shades. The shade is signed MacDonald. I do have the Grueby lamp base I would also sell if there is interest? This shade is very hard and rare. If you have a nice Bigelow Kennard base there you go. If you have questions please ask. I took a lot of pictures and is part of the description. The item “Rare MacDonald Leaded Shade, Bigelow Kennard, Leaded, Slag Shade, Handel Lamp Era” is in sale since Thursday, April 15, 2021.
