The milky-white cloudy glass, today appropriately called opal glass, was already in use when, 200 years ago, the shared history of light and glass began. Originally manufactured as an imitation of once sinfully expensive porcelain, opal glass has now been given a real task. No other material scatters glare-free light so perfectly. Satin-matted cased glass is the most valuable opal version.
Light distribution:
Neutral diffuse light; glare-free.
Application:
Dining place, seating group, seating corner, resting place, corridor, hall/foyer, bathroom, counter; in dwellings, gastronomy and sales rooms as well as in public and service areas.
Arrangement:
[icons]
Material, finish:
Opal cased glass, outwardly non-reflective due to satin matting. Fitting chrome-coloured. For pendant models: cable and ceiling canopy black; for table lamps: base metal, chrome-coloured, cable black, for 8084: cable white; length approx. 1500 mm. For wall/ceiling luminaires: fitting black.
Also conceivable in a foyer as well as in kindergartens, schools, hospitals and waiting rooms. Glass is hygienic because it is easy to keep clean.
Luminaires No. 1219, 3-light pendant.
Also available as a 5-, 7-, or 9-light hanging cluster (see page 31).
Caption:
Opal cased glass diffuses a gentle light. Therefore it is just as pleasant as bedside lighting as, for example, as a television light.

Other versions: This Peill+Putzler Nizza flush mount exists in several different forms and sizes. This flush mount can be used as a wall lamp. It was also made as a table lamp and pendant lamp. Sometimes named water lily, seerose in German. Maybe it is the real name of this lamp, but I could not find any proof for it. It is in any case model 7031, as you can see in the catalogue pictures. There is no name listed in this 1976 – 1977 catalogue.
Peill+Putzler
Glashüttenwerk Peill und Sohn was founded in 1903 in Düren, a small town in (West) Germany. Peill und Sohn merged with Putzler (founded in 1869) in 1947 as a glassworks and lighting company, becoming Peill+Putzler Glashüttenwerke.
The company worked with important designers such as Wilhelm Wagenfeld, William Brown, Helmut Demary, Aloys Ferdinand Gangkofner, Horst Tüselmann, Dieter Sieger, Gerhard Beigel, and many others.
In the 1950s, around 1,500 people worked for the company. They also produced glass for other European lighting firms, such as Raak and Philips (The Netherlands) and Massive (Belgium), to name a few.
Peill+Putzler received many design awards, not only for lighting. The company received 86 iF Design awards.
In 1995, production of glass and lighting moved to Slovenia, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Only the trading of lamps and glass remained in Düren. In 2005, one year after its 100th anniversary (2004), the company filed for bankruptcy.
In 2008, the name Peill+Putzler was reused for several years, including for the Wagenfeld lighting sold by the German lighting company Paul Neuhaus.
Today the former Peill+Putzler factory, now called Glashütte Düren, has been converted into various businesses and a conference centre.
Peill+Putzler was reactivated in 2022–23 and is now issued by Peill+Putzler Leuchten GmbH & Co. KG in Hemer, Germany, about 150 kilometres from Düren. Organizationally, the company is linked to IS Leuchten via the same address and managing director, Torsten Alberts. A new catalogue has been online since 2025, with several of the old icons, such as the Lido table lamp.
