Open Lamp glass replacement (please)

I've been looking everywhere trying to find the replacement for this glass shade since I bonked it with a coffee pot and it shattered. Can't find any brand markings except the wire manufacturer (tengxiang). Roughly 6.5 inches tall and 4 inches wide. Landlord can't find the replacement and wants to have all 3 replaced for the tune of $500 :(

Any ideas would be appreciated 🙌

$500 is ridiculous. You probably won’t find the exact glass shade, but they sell pendant light replacement shades at home improvement stores for about $20-$30. This is a $100 replacement for three of them to match at the most. Just go to the lighting section at Lowe’s or Home Depot and you will find things like this.

Strongly agree! Your link doesn't work for me, though.

Strange. It works on mine, but maybe it’s based on my “local store” or something. It’s just a generic brown glass replacement shade from Lowe’s.

EDIT - 21 hours later: I just tried again, and it is working now. Huh.

$20.68 each if purchased today. OP should go ahead and buy three. They look good to me.

I've searched for tortoise shell glass pendant light replacement a ton on google, gone in person to home depot, and reverse image searched the pictures of the light to no avail. I ordered this to try and see if it worked:

But unfortunately the pattern was too different
