Clyde Handblown Glass Pendant

The Clyde Glass Pendant Light is handblown rather than moulded, which shows in the wall thickness of the shade and in the faint asymmetry no machine process produces. Light passing through slightly uneven glass is subtly livelier than light through a perfectly uniform shade.

Because each piece is blown individually, dimensions vary a little between shades and small bubbles may sit within the glass. Both are marks of the process rather than faults, and they are the reason handblown glass has never been fully replaced by cheaper alternatives.

The form itself is deliberately simple so the material carries the interest. Velleora Home Decor sets the drop adjustable at installation and pairs it with a standard bulb fitting. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician, and the glass cleaned with a soft dry cloth rather than a spray.
