Besa Pinta 12 Optic Clear Glass Pendant, Stem Mount

The Pinta 12 shade on a rigid, adjustable stem: every shade hangs straight and still, even from a vaulted ceiling, thanks to the swivel canopy.

• ✓ Rigid stem kit
• ✓ Swivel canopy for sloped ceilings
• ✓ Large 14.25" optic glass
• ✓ Damp rated
• ✓ UL or ETL listed
• ✓ Dimmable

This is the stem-mount version of Besa Lighting’s Pinta 12, a large clear glass shade with optical lines. The shade is the same as on the cord pendant, 14.25 inches across and 11.875 inches tall, but it hangs from a plated steel stem kit: a telescoping section with up to 3 inches of adjustment plus 3", 6", 12" and 18" sections, 39 inches as standard and up to 10 feet with extra sections. A swivel at the 5-inch canopy lets the stem hang plumb under a sloped ceiling.

The clear glass carries fine optical lines that bend and multiply the image of the exposed lamp, so the whole shade sparkles when lit. It takes a 100W A19 medium-base (E26) bulb of your choice (not included). The photos show the Pinta 12 glass options; on this version the shade hangs from the stem kit pictured in the drawing.

Best for

Vaulted and sloped ceilings, long islands, restaurant and café counters, and any run of pendants that should sit at exactly the same height. The Pinta 12 itself suits dining tables, kitchen islands in pairs, foyers and double-height entries where a large clear shade and a decorative bulb should be seen.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who wants to fine-tune the height after installation without tools: the stem is set by assembling sections; the cord version is easier to adjust.
• Drops longer than 10 ft: that is the stem kit’s maximum.
• Anyone who needs every shade identical: handcrafted glass varies slightly.
• Outdoor porches and patios: it is rated for damp interior locations only.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and the stem Pinta 12 solves the classic problem of cord pendants on a slope: the swivel canopy and rigid stem keep each shade plumb and in line. Besa Lighting pairs American design with European glass artisanship: its shades are hand-blown by skilled artisans using techniques passed down for generations, then hand-inspected at Besa’s factory in Ohio for color, pattern, thickness and size before they ship.

Buy once: durability and care

With the power off and the glass cool, wipe it with a soft cloth lightly misted with glass cleaner (spray the cloth, not the fixture) and dust the stem and canopy with a dry microfiber cloth (our advice). Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.
