Hello AT,
I found this great ceramic lamp on the street the other day and I think it deserves a nice fiberglass shade.
Any suggestions where I can find a good selection of these vintage or reproduction shades in Manhattan?
Thanks! Carolyn

These guys will hook you up with something fantastic, as I have ordered from them for a few of my vintage finds: http://www.moonshineshades.com/
(although they are out of Texas and not NY), but everything I have ordered has shipped beautifully!

Why turn it into a period piece? I'd buy or have a beautiful silk or card shade made to bring that wonderful base into today's world. Depending on your interior design scheme, it would look great with a vertically-striped drum shade, say cream and brown striped, either boldly striped or more mattress-ticking style. For at least a decade, I've been under the influence of Le Decor Français, a decorating shop on Lexington Avenue between 72nd and 73rd, where sassy patterned handmade shades often are paired with great vintage bases.

Not in Manhattan, but they do custom and they ship:

Another vote for Moonshine Shades here. I'm a repeat customer of theirs and can't over-rave about their products and service.
I think I recently also saw a post in AT San Francisco about a place there that makes shades similar to Moonshine's -- but their selection looked at little more limited.
