I found these at Goodwill the other day, sitting among the vases. But they’re not vases! They’re Mid Century Murano glass pendant lamps. If you look inside, you can see that they are actually made of two layers of glass: orange on the outside (and what an orange!) and white on the inside. Finding the parts to resurrect them as pendant lamps shouldn’t be too hard. There are several lamp parts distributors online. Can’t wait to put them together. So remember: when thrifting, look at everything! You never know what you might find in the “wrong” place.
