Ribbed glass, wrapped into a cup.
A mid-century wall light in brushed aged brass with a ribbed clear glass cup shade. Fine vertical flutes wrap around a wide, shallow drum that spreads refracted light sideways at eye level. 155 mm tall, 140 mm wide, 195 mm deep, 0.58 kg. G9 3 W LED, not included. Dimmable. Class 1, earth required. IP20 indoor only. 220-240 V. The most compact mid-century wall light in the range.
What the ribbed cup changes.
- It spreads texture sideways: The cup wraps ribbed glass around a wide drum. The refracted lines radiate outward at eye level, covering more wall than a narrow vertical panel.
- It glows upward through the open top: Light escapes through the cup's opening, washing the ceiling above with reflected warmth that closed shades cannot produce.
- It dims to an amber-textured band: On low, the ribbed lines soften but remain visible in the glass. The cup becomes a warm, textured object on the wall rather than a bright source.
- It fits the tightest mid-century scheme: At 155 mm tall and 140 mm wide the fitting is compact enough for narrow positions without losing the ribbed glass detail.
- It connects to brass furniture below: The aged brass finish matches mid-century sideboards, timber-legged tables and warm-toned room schemes naturally.
- It wires to earth: Class 1. Live, neutral and earth connections required.
Hallways and rooms with warm timber.
In a hallway at eye level where the cup wraps warm light across the wall. In pairs beside a bed on white or warm grey walls, dimmed low. On a living room wall beside a mid-century sideboard where the brass connects to the timber. On a landing above a console where the compact size fits without overhang. For more ideas on brightening narrow spaces with considered wall lighting, our hallway brightening guide covers layout, lighting and placement.
The cup catches light sideways.
Vertical ribbed glass creates columns of refracted light running up and down the wall. A ribbed glass cup does something different. The same fine fluting wraps around a wide, shallow drum that sits on a brass arm and spreads the refracted texture sideways at eye level. The G9 bulb is broken into dozens of fine lines radiating outward through the curved glass, wrapping the wall with a band of warm, textured light. The cup distributes rather than concentrates, and the result is a wider, softer wash than a narrow panel could produce.
The aged brass is brushed and warm, with the mid-century character that comes from a finish deliberately not polished. The round backplate, the short straight arm and the ribbed glass cup sit together in proportions that reference the 1950s without imitating a specific period piece. At 155 mm tall, 140 mm wide and 195 mm deep, this is the most compact mid-century wall light in the range. At 0.58 kg it mounts on any standard interior wall without concern about weight or fixings.
Dimmable with a compatible G9 LED and dimmer switch. When dimmed, the ribbed cup shifts from bright refracted lines to a soft amber glow with the texture still visible in the glass. For a mid-century brass ceiling light to carry the same material language overhead, the Mid-Century Brass Multi-Globe Ceiling Light provides the room's upper companion in the same design tradition.
What the ribbed cup provides.
- Ribbed clear glass cup shade. Fine vertical flutes wrap around a wide, shallow drum. The ribbing catches the G9 bulb and breaks it into textured lines that radiate outward and upward through the curved glass surface.
- Horizontal light spread. The cup form distributes the refracted texture sideways across the wall at eye level. Wider, softer coverage than a narrow ribbed panel or a directional cone.
- Brushed aged brass finish. Warm, textured, mid-century in character. The brass sits naturally against painted walls, plaster, warm timbers and natural-material schemes without looking too new or too formal.
- Dimmable with 3 W G9 LED. Not included. Full brightness for hallway or reading-adjacent light. Dimmed for ambient texture where the ribbed lines soften to a warm amber band across the wall.
- 155 x 140 x 195 mm at 0.58 kg. The most compact mid-century wall light in the range. Small enough for tight positions but with enough ribbed glass surface to create genuine visual texture on the wall.
- Class 1, IP20, 220-240 V. Earth connection required. Indoor dry positions only. Standard UK mains wiring with live, neutral and earth.
Why a cup outperforms a panel.
A ribbed panel refracts in one plane. The lines run vertically and the light projects forward in a column. A cup wraps the ribbing around a three-dimensional form, so the refracted lines radiate outward in every direction. The coverage is wider, the transitions softer, and light escapes upward through the open top, washing the ceiling with a reflected glow that panels do not produce. For a compact fitting, the cup extracts more visual and functional value from the same ribbed glass technique.
Hallways, bedsides and mid-century rooms.
In a hallway at eye level where the ribbed cup wraps warm light across the wall as you walk past, the textured band shifting subtly with every step. In pairs beside a bed headboard on a white or warm grey wall, dimmed to a soft textured glow for the last hour of the evening. On a living room wall beside a mid-century sideboard where the aged brass connects to the timber below and the ribbed glass adds visual interest above. In a dining room on a feature wall where the compact size provides accent light without competing with the pendant overhead. On a landing wall above a narrow console where the 140 mm width fits comfortably without overhang.
Before You Order.
- Bulb is 3 W G9 LED. Not included. Choose a warm white dimmable G9 for the best result behind the ribbed glass. Cool white will shift the tone toward clinical rather than warm.
- Class 1 with earth connection required. Live, neutral and earth wiring. Standard for metal-bodied wall fittings with a brass frame.
- Ribbed glass is delicate. Handle the cup shade with care during installation. The fluted surface is glass, not acrylic. Once mounted the fitting is secure.

On a landing wall above a narrow console where the 140 mm width fits comfortably without overhang.
Before You Order.
- Bulb is 3 W G9 LED. Not included. Choose a warm white dimmable G9 for the best result behind the ribbed glass. Cool white will shift the tone toward clinical rather than warm.
- Class 1 with earth connection required. Live, neutral and earth wiring. Standard for metal-bodied wall fittings with a brass frame.
- Ribbed glass is delicate. Handle the cup shade with care during installation. The fluted surface is glass, not acrylic. Once mounted the fitting is secure.

FAQs
FAQs: Brass Ribbed Glass Cup Light.
A wide, shallow drum of clear glass with fine vertical flutes wrapping around its full circumference. The cup sits on top of a short brass arm, open at the top. When lit, the ribbing breaks the G9 bulb into dozens of textured lines that radiate outward and upward through the curved glass.
A ribbed panel refracts in one plane, creating a vertical column. A cup wraps the ribbing around a three-dimensional form, so refracted lines radiate outward in every direction. The coverage is wider, the edges softer, and light escapes upward through the open top as well.
A 3 W G9 LED, not included. Choose a warm white dimmable G9 between 2700 K and 3000 K. The ribbed glass hides the bulb shape entirely, so the form of the G9 capsule does not matter. Colour temperature is what counts.
A hallway at eye level where the cup wraps light across the wall. Pairs beside a bed headboard on white or warm grey walls. A living room wall beside a mid-century sideboard. A landing above a narrow console. A dining room as a compact accent beside a pendant overhead. For a brass table lamp to carry the warm tone to the surface below, the Ornate Gold Leaf Table Lamp provides a complementary presence.
Dimming shifts the refracted lines toward deeper amber. The texture remains visible in the glass but softens. On low, the cup becomes a warm, textured band on the wall rather than a bright light source. The open top continues to wash the ceiling with a gentle reflected glow.
In this range, yes. At 155 mm tall and 140 mm wide it is the most compact option. The small scale suits positions where a larger fitting would overwhelm the wall or the furniture around it.
The metal body must be connected to earth. The wiring requires live, neutral and earth connections. Standard for fittings with a brass or steel frame.
No. IP20 covers dry indoor positions only. Not protected against moisture. For bathrooms, choose a fitting rated IP44 or higher.
It is glass and should be handled with care during installation. Once mounted the cup sits securely on the brass arm. Avoid pressing on the ribbed surface during fitting.
Dimensions: 155 mm (H) x 140 mm (W) x 195 mm (D). Finish: brushed aged brass. Shade: ribbed clear glass cup. Bulb: 3 W G9 LED, not included. Dimmable: yes. Voltage: 220-240 V. Class: 1 (earth required). IP: 20. Weight: 0.58 kg.
Knowledge Hub
Compact light in mid-century rooms.
A small ribbed glass wall light works best when the room around it shares the same material warmth: aged brass, natural timber, warm plaster, textured fabrics. The fitting connects to these materials rather than standing apart from them. These guides cover how to build rooms where compact, considered lighting earns its place on the wall.
