FAQs | Hollywood Glass Bowls
What is Hollywood Bowl Glass?
"Hollywood Bowls" is our name for this collection of vintage American pressed glass light fixtures from the 1930s and 1940s -- the Golden Age of Hollywood. Our collection of Hollywood Bowls includes a glamourous range of shape, decorative detail, size and color.
Where does Hollywood glass come from?
Most pieces were made in the USA by various manufacturers from days gone by. There are also a few rare French pieces in our collection. All are original glass from a bygone era, secured by us in the interest of saving pieces of architectural history.
Yes, metal rods/stems and mounting hardware are included.
Are the metal rods/stems original antiques?
Most are newly manufactured by Brass Light Gallery. When a set of vintage fittings is found together with it's original glass mate we keep them together. The product detail pages will indicate if fittings are restored originals or newly manufactured.
Are Hollywood Bowls One-of-a-kind?
Most of the pressed glass light fixture bowls made 70-80 years ago were made in production runs, not as unique originals. How many of any given style remain in circulation is unknown.
Can I get two or more of the same exact bowl?
Often times yes. If your project requires multiples let us know. We have well over 1000 pieces of glass in our warehouse archive. We can gather sets and present you with options. Some product detail pages indicate if multiple are available, but these details are not all inclusive.
Generally from 1930s - 1940s.
What type of wattage can be used?
Maximum wattage depends on the type of fittings. Every fixture accepts at least qty. 2, 60 watt lamps. Three-rod configurations accept qty. 3, 60 watt lamps.
Are Hollywood Bowls UL listed?
What interior design styles are suitable for Hollywood Bowls?
Hollywood Bowls are appropriate for lighting circa 1920 - 1950 period homes, or anywhere you would like a touch of 1930s style! As the bowl styles range in influence from Hollywood Regency to Victorian to Art Deco and Streamline Design, the fit will depend on the specific bowl.
In what rooms do you recommend using Hollywood Bowls for light?
In general, smaller spaces such as bedrooms, powder rooms, bathrooms, mudrooms, sunrooms, or hallways.
What finishes are available for the fittings (metal rods/stem and canopy)?
For glass bowls suspended on newly manufactured fittings, we offer 8 finish options (4 nickel, 2 brass, 1 bronze and 1 verdigris). For vintage fittings, the finish options will depend on the original base metal.
For a specific glass bowl, can I request a different metal finish than pictured?
The bowl shown is too long for my ceiling height. Are other lengths available?
For each fixture you can select the minimum overall length or 12", 15" or 18". Lengths between the standards (in 1" increments) and longer lengths are available. An extra charge may apply to longer overall lengths.
I like the fitting style shown on another bowl. Can I get those instead?
Generally, the answer is yes. If the fittings are newly manufactured and there are no practical issues, we'd be glad to swap or dress-up or dress-down the fittings. If the fittings are an original mate to another piece of glass, we may not want to break up the pair.
