There's something friendly about light coming through glass. It reminds a lot of us of the shades in Grandma's kitchen or the lamps over the counter at the old corner diner. Our glass pendant lights bring back that feeling with simple shapes, sturdy metal, and glass that lets the bulb glow softly. They suit farmhouse, cottage, and rustic homes, and they look right at home in a newer house too.
Handmade glass pendant lights are what we do best. We're one of the only lighting companies that still makes its lights here in America. Every fixture is put together by hand by skilled artisans in our shop, not stamped out by a machine overseas. Each one is built with UL-rated parts, so you can hang it and stop worrying about it.
Glass pendant lights for kitchen spaces give you good, even light right where you chop, stir, and wash up. Hang one over the sink so you can see what you're doing, or put a pair over a small breakfast table. Glass spreads the light around nicely, so the room never feels gloomy at suppertime.
Kitchen island glass pendant lights are the most popular way folks use these fixtures. Two or three in a row look neat and tidy, and they give the whole island plenty of light for rolling out pie crust or sharing a cup of coffee with a neighbor. Hang them so the bottom of each shade sits about 30 to 36 inches above the countertop.
Glass kitchen pendant lights come in plenty of shapes, and each one throws light a little differently. A globe spreads light all around the room. A bell or dome points it down onto the counter. A cylinder or schoolhouse shape gives you a bit of both. Clear glass is the easiest to keep clean, and a quick wipe with a soft cloth keeps it shining.
Modern glass pendant lights keep things simple, with plain shapes and no fuss. If your kitchen has white cabinets and a clean look, these fit right in. They still carry the same hand-built quality as the rest of our glass pendant lights, so you get a fresh style without giving up good, honest workmanship.
Vintage glass pendant lights look like something you'd find in a 1930s schoolhouse or general store. Think curved shades, cage guards, and brass or bronze finishes that look better with age. They're a natural fit for a farmhouse kitchen, a cozy dining nook, or a back hallway that needs some character.
Seeded glass pendant lights have small air bubbles all through the glass, just like old hand-blown windows. When the light is on, those little bubbles sparkle and throw a pretty pattern on the ceiling. Seeded glass also hides fingerprints and dust better than plain clear glass, which is a nice bonus over a busy counter.
Large glass pendant lights make a good centerpiece over a dining table, in a tall entryway, or in a family room with high ceilings. One big fixture can do the work of two or three small ones. As a rule of thumb, pick a shade about half to two-thirds as wide as the table below it so it looks right in the room.
Small glass pendant lights work well in places where a big fixture would crowd the room. Hang one over a kitchen sink, at the end of a hallway, beside the bed, or above a little reading chair. They give you a bright pool of light without taking over the space.
Unique glass pendant lights are for folks who want something you won't see in every house on the block. Some of our glass pendant lights have unusual shapes, colored glass, or one-of-a-kind metal work. Guests tend to look up and ask where you found them, and you get to tell them it was made by hand right here at home.
Good glass pendant lights should look nice, light your room well, and keep working for years. That's what we set out to make with every fixture that leaves our shop. Each order ships free, and a portion of every sale helps provide food, water, and shelter for children in need. Take your time looking around, and find the light that feels like home.
