Small drum shades are perfect for small ceramic teardrop bases like this one.

6″ diameter shades like are often used with bulb clip adapters. These clip over a standard light bulb, and are attached to the shade washer ring with a finial. CFL and LED bulbs are now available in the classic standard A19 size and shape, but they aren’t as yet available in a wide range of wattages.

An important and often overlooked consideration with small lamps is that if the lamp has a turn-knob or push-through socket switch, the bottom drum shade diameter shouldn’t be so small that it’s difficult to get a hand inside the shade to operate the switch.

Pink drum lampshade with black combo arcs, custom made for vintage Art Deco lamp base. Post-war midcentury-modern style evolved partly from pre-war Art Deco style, so it’s not surprising that MCM-style lampshades often go well with Art Deco lamp bases.
