Know before you buy
The lamp stands at 27 inches tall, making it a substantial piece suitable for side tables, nightstands, or consoles.
Because of the intricate, barnacle-like ornamentation, we recommend using a soft-bristled brush or a can of compressed air to gently remove dust from the crevices without damaging the ceramic finish.
This lamp features an E26 socket and accommodates one bulb with a maximum wattage of 150 watts. It is compatible with standard incandescent, LED, or CFL bulbs that fit an E26 base.
No. Because each lamp is hand-thrown and finished with layered glazes by artisans, there will be slight variations in the ivory and brown tones, ensuring that every piece is unique.
No, this lamp is specifically designed for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements, moisture, and temperature fluctuations may damage the ceramic body and the electrical components.
