Opal glass shades like the BB1883 Opal are somewhat warmer in appearance than their etched-glass cousins. For example, the main difference between this shade and the BB1883 Crystal is that when opal glass is lit from within, the lightbulb isn't visible.

Tips: Opal shades have a softening effect on bright incandescent bulbs, and also help tone down the intensity of compact fluorescent bulbs. When assembling several fixtures in one room, match glass finishes for consistency.
