Know before you buy
Because the porcelain body is hand-thrown on a potter's wheel, the striations of brown, tan, and blue are unique to each individual lamp. You should expect slight variations in the pattern, which is a hallmark of its artisanal craftsmanship.
The lamp uses an E26 socket, which is the standard medium base for most household bulbs. It is rated for a maximum of 150 watts, allowing you to use a variety of incandescent, LED, or CFL bulbs.
The soft blue fabric lining inside the shade adds a subtle, cool-toned tint to the light output. It creates a softer, more diffused glow compared to a standard white-lined shade, making it ideal for ambient lighting in living rooms or bedrooms.
Optic crystal is durable but can show fingerprints and dust easily. To maintain its clarity, wipe the base and finial periodically with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could dull the surface.
Yes, the lamp stands 30 inches tall and features a solid optic crystal base that provides a weighted, stable foundation. Its 17-inch length makes it well-suited for standard side tables or nightstands.
