Know before you buy
Because each Manitapi lamp is individually thrown, carved, and glazed by hand, there will be subtle variations in the coral and barnacle placement. You should expect your lamp to be a one-of-a-kind piece with slight artistic differences from the photographed model.
The lamp uses a standard E26 socket and supports up to 150 watts. You can use a variety of E26 bulbs, including LED, incandescent, or CFL, depending on your preferred color temperature and brightness.
The lamp stands 26 inches tall and measures 19 inches in length. Given its vase-shaped body and textured, sculptural design, it works best on surfaces that can accommodate its substantial footprint and visual weight.
The dark clay ceramic is glazed for protection and durability, making it suitable for standard household use. However, because of the intricate, hand-sculpted coral and barnacle details, it should be handled with care to avoid chipping the raised textures.
To preserve the finish and delicate sculpted elements, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a gentle duster. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, which could damage the glaze or catch on the textured oceanic motifs.
