There is hardly any more blurring in the lighting industry than how to opt a exchange glass shade for a torchiere lamp.
First let us define a torchiere lamp. A torchiere lamp is any table or floor lamp whose light is directed upward by means of a glass, metal, stone, plastic or other type of reflector. These lamps take many forms and are made of many materials but most ordinarily made as floor lamps.

Louis Comfort Tiffany At Tiffany & Co. Overview
Celebrated for his Art Nouveau stained-glass interpretations of birds, insects, fruits and flowers, Louis Comfort Tiffany was the foremost American designer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His enormous influence on his father's famed company, however, has been largely obscured. In this illustrated volume, Tiffany & Co design director John Loring puts into perspective the mutually beneficial bonds between "LCT" and the family firm. The book includes 350 colour images of the jewellery, enamels, blown glass, ceramics, desk accessories and other objets d'art created by LCT during his 16-year tenure as the company's design director, as well as luxury goods produced in his own studios - but in fact financed and retailed by the family company.

These popular lamps furnish exquisite area lighting because they bounce light off the ceiling and diffuse it throughout a large area of the room.
There are four (4) basic types of torchiere glass.
1) Dish type torchiere glass (most common) is a dish or bowl shape glass shade with a 1 5/8" wide center hole that naturally slips down over the electrical socket and rests upon a metal or plastic holder. There is a threaded ring which screws down over the electrical socket to hold the glass in place. This type torchiere glass is ordinarily frosted white, beige or plain white.
2) Reflector waffle pattern opal white torchiere glass is a cone shape glass shade available in two (2) base sizes: 2.75" fitter that is 10" wide and the other is a 2.25" fitter that is 8" wide. This torchiere glass ordinarily has a waffle type pattern pressed into the face of the glass although there are some with no pattern in the glass. These torchiere glass shades were very popular in the 1920's and 1930's and were found on many 6 way floor lamps that had 3 arm lights plus a center light. They are also available on some modern lamps as well as some floor lamps without arms. Many of these lamps are designed for a fabric lamp shade to rest upon the reflector glass. This arrangement not only provides exquisite area lighting but also exquisite reading light.
3) Long neck torchiere glass is a larger glass, ordinarily around 13-16" wide with a long neck that fits down inside a 2.75 - 3"" wide holder. This glass shade has the appearance of a very wide funnel with neck. These are the most high-priced type of torchiere glass shades.
4) Stiffel exchange torchiere glass is made specifically to fit lamps from this lamp maker.
If you need further help selecting the strict torchiere glass for your lamp, be sure to taste a professional full aid lamp company with lots of taste with torchiere lamps.
Good luck on all your lighting projects.

Torchere Glass Lamp Shade transfer TypesCeltic Cross headstone by Tiffany of AC McClurg, publisher of Tarzan, Du Bois and Zane Grey Tube. Duration : 0.70 Mins.General Alexander C. McClurg (GAR) Graceland Cemetery, Chicago Celtic Cross by Louis Comfort Tiffany AC McClurg & Co. traces its origins to Chicago's oldest book and stationery store which was founded in 1844. The young Alexander C. McClurg went to work for the company, then known as SC Griggs, in 1859. McClurg resumed working for Griggs after returning from the Civil War with the rank of general. When the firm's premises were destroyed by fire in 1899, General McClurg decided to reorganize as a corporation with shares sold to employees. He died soon thereafter in 1901. Little publishing took place until 1914 when the firm negotiated what turned out to be its most profitable publication, Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs. McClurg & Co. went on to publish 10 more Tarzan titles. Eventually Burroughs set up his own company to deal with all iterations of his famous character. Most authors who published with McClurg are fairly unknown, but some of the better-known authors include Felix Borowski (Standard Concert Guide/Standard Opera Guide), Edgar Rice Burroughs, Mary Hartwell Catherwood, WEB Du Bois, Byron A. Dunn, Oscar J. Friend, Zane Grey, Edith Ogden Harrison, Margaret Hill McCarter, and Clarence E. Mulford, author of the Hopalong Cassidy books. www.newberry.org I created this video at www.youtube.com
