Rounded Fruit

    Antique Fruit Lamp reproduction is not complete without rounded apples and pears. Traditional curved ruby red apples and yellow green opal glass pears were used in many of the antique lamps. A special opal glass, which can be refired and slumped to form a concave shape, is used. Apples and pears, in both large and small size, are available in traditional colors as well as yellow and green opal. The delicious apple shape, large size only, is made in yellow and ruby red. Oranges, made with textured glass, are also available.  All small fruit is also available in cathedral glass.
    When using stained glass apples and pears it is important to double-check the pattern. Some adjustment on pattern pieces may be necessary to make the glass pieces fit correctly around the glass fruit.
