A dim panelled room at dusk with a lit porcelain figurine lamp throwing warm light across a walnut console

A lamp you would keep if it never switched on.

Hand-painted porcelain figure groups and quiet ceramic bases, each with a silk or linen shade. Twelve lamps, nothing else.

What we are actually selling

The light is the easy part

Any lamp lights a room. What decides whether you keep one for thirty years is whether you still want to look at it when it is switched off, sitting cold on a console in daylight. That is the thing we work on.

Modelled, not moulded flat

The figure groups are made in separate pieces — chairs, tables, instruments, reeds — and assembled before firing. That is why they have depth from the side rather than reading as a relief.

Painted before the glaze

Colour goes on under the glaze and is fired beneath it. There is no surface film to scuff off the nose of a figure or the rim of a jar, which is the usual failure on painted ceramics.

Shades that belong to the base

Pleated silk on the porcelain, linen drum on the ceramic, both included. Nothing here arrives needing a shade bought separately to look finished. Care & Materials
