Product Details

These glass panels were designed to fit into brass or metal frames of chandeliers or lighting fixtures, typically from the Mid-Century Modern (MCM) era. The "starburst" or "atomic starburst" motif is a hallmark of 1950s & 1960s home decor. While primarily used for lighting, similar etched glass pieces are sometimes repurposed as suncatchers or finger plates for doors.The central starburst symbol is occasionally noted for its visual similarity to the "pulsar map" included on the Pioneer & Voyager plaques sent by NASA to space, which uses lines to represent directions to various stars
