I'm looking for 2 alike 3 1/4 fitter glass shades that are not made in China but not extremely expensive.
Would like something open at the bottom that filters/mutes the light above as both will be at ~ eye level. I'd like them to look good/unique/cool but it seems like 3 1/4 fitter in a good looking shade is pretty rare.
I've searched a lot and can't find anything. No one seems to be able to help but if there is an answer, I know a getbigger has it!

This one suits people who like black floors.

Or suggest it as a project for a local carpentry/woodworking apprenticeship if translucent wood appeals to you. Wouldn't take any more tools than doing bowls if it was bell shaped instead of closed. Just a helluva lot more finesse. Or a CAM lathe.

Or maybe hit up a glassblower and see what he can do. Erlenmeyer flask shades. Or flea markets & salvage? Wrought iron and off white glass is a classic combo but would cost you a bomb to get made. Iron over paper would work and be way cheaper.
If you're on a budget, some cloth that you like wrapped over a wire frame might do the trick. Cool globes, I hope.
Here's a fun shade I ran into just now.

I am not able to "picture" what you're looking for very well :-\ .. do you prefer clear glass or white ( frosted ) ?
I dig these stained glass ones but it sounds like the ones you want won't be "hanging"

I've stopped by the Corning Glass Center when I'm that far south here .. they have gorgeous glass bowls , flowers etc that they make there on exhibit ... the choices would be endless ... which would be a great chance to get exactly what you want

Spam cans, Cambells cans, etc.
Might be a little bit frat house but the top of a champagne bottle would diffuse light, the label would shade (if it wraps around - otherwise you have to drink another one to get a second label), and you could drill out the bottom with a glass hole saw.
Or you could hang
