A lampshade is a fixture that covers the lightbulb on a lamp to diffuse the light it emits. Conical, cylindrical and other forms on floor-, desk- or table top-mounted as well as suspended lamp models are the most common and are made in a wide range of materials.
The shade serves the important function of blocking the glare from a light bulb and is usually the most decorative part of a lamp. The lamp shade can be made of glass, fabric, metal, or other more creative materials.

This is one of my favorite lamps -- ever. It's at G&K's and it appears to be a globe, cut in half. The northern hemisphere is the lamp shade and the pegs illuminate from the bulb below. I'm taking it when they're not looking. Ha!
