    I am looking for a globe for a lamp like this one. My mom had her glove broken on one of the lamps. I believe they were sold by sears.

    I believe that's what is called a Gone With The Wind Lamp which might help you search for a globe.

    I did a quick search on ebay and found similar globes though not an exact flower match to yours.

    Adding your picture as full size to make it easier for people to see.

    I always thought Gone with the Wind lamps had round globes, not the flat, fluted shade as shown above.

    You need to know the diameter of the fitter. Should be 10 - 12". A fitter is what the shade sits in.
    You can buy new shades for these, but they won't have the matching flowers. Anyone in the family able to paint?

    Replacement shades are quite expensive. You might be able find one close to the original, but not identical, and Cluttered's suggestion is a good one....buy a blank if someone you know can paint a copy of the one broken.

    At the antique shop I am in, we used to deal with this company, but they are wholesale. I would think that if you peruse the online catalogue, a lamp company in your area could order it for you.

    We had customers with the same problem as yours, and often changed their mind about replacement when they heard the cost.

    Some were replacing a true antique shade, and it was sometimes worth the cost to them.

    BBM. You very well may be right cluttered; I'm not a glassie by any means.
