Bell Jars

Sometimes referred to as hall lanterns, bell jar lanterns have been beautifully illuminating stylish homes since the turn of the 19th century.  Early colonial bell jars relied on candle light and were typically found in foyers and hallways to provide a warm welcome to visitors.  Its classic shape features a “smoke bell” glass cap that was useful in keeping the smoke from the candles from damaging the ceilings.  Today's bell jars – with both traditional and contemporary stylings - capture the original's inviting and decorative qualities and are a perfect fit in halls, kitchens, baths and just about anywhere you'd like a charming sparkle of light.  At Patti Bros we have a wide array of bell jars in a variety of shapes and glass on display
