Replacement lamp shade help?

[C.Ann]

I have a floor model gooseneck lamp here at the lake with a 3-way switch (60w-100w-150w).. Love the lamp, however it came with a white plastic lamp shade that has become brittle and broke at the "collar" today..

The lamp shade itself does not screw on to the lamp, there's a black ring that you screw in to hold the lamp shade in place once you have held it up to the lamp.. The widest part of the shade (facing down) is about 11 and 1/4 inches around - the "collar" (where you hold it up to the lamp before securing it with this black piece) is just shy of 2" wide..

So basically it's not a traditional lamp shade - nor is it one that you "screw" on.. I've been searching online and just can't seem to find anything like it.. Not sure I kept the instructions that came with the lamp, so I can't contact the manufacturer..

Has anyone else had a lamp like this? And if so, have you ever had to replace the lamp shade?

This is basically the type of lamp, but the top bends down:

we have an antique lamp with a similar attachment, I think.

Normaly the lamp shade has a small hole that fits over a 1/4 inch wide bolt. right?

but this one has a black ring, about 1 or 2 inches in diameter. it has threads inside and screws onto the male threads near the base of the bulb socket.

we never found a replacement that would fit at any of the generic stores like home depot or lowes. or walmart or target.... Possibly a lamp store would be able to replace it.

I actualy disassembled the old shade and reused the middle wire and ring mounting part. I brazed it onto a new shade.

do you have any sort of welding equipment with you? Hehehehhee

Most torchiere lamps have this kind of shade. We have 3 of them and they all have a similar bolt design.

Forgive my ignorance, age, and lack of interior design knowledge (about all I understand is "garage sale" - LOL), but what are "torchiere" lamps and are you able to buy replacement shades?

Every type of shade I have looked at has the wire at the top of the shade - or the wire that hooks right on to the light bulb - and neither of those will work..

Lamp is pretty useless to me without the shade because the source of light spreads out into too wide an area.. I know I could buy another lamp, but I was hoping I could just get a shade..
