What is this type of light called?

I need two wall sconces that will go very high up on a 2-story living room wall. The original home owner put outlets 12 feet up on the wall for picture lights. I could really use additional light in the room and so I want to hardwire some sconces up there. The outlets are already wired to a wall switch.

What type of light should I be searching for? Searching "Wall sconces" gets me a lot of vanity-type lights that would look silly 12 feet up. I thing I want something that looks like a half-bowl with upward light?

Does this type of fixture have a name?

I think it also has to be big, right? Any size recommendations? I think it needs to be at least 18" wide.
