I don't recognize the exact unit that you have, but I have replaced bulbs on several glass globe units that are very similar. If you are trying to unscrew the metal shade, that is incorrect. You need to unscrew the glass part itself. The glass globe actually has glass threads on it, and they screw into the metal part. But the way to remove the globe is to use friction to unscrew the glass globe from the metal part. Turn it counterclockwise. Sometimes it requires a little bit of force to unstick it. That has been my experience.
