Key Features

  • Wood-fired ceramic shade – a softly mottled glaze catches warm highlights across the dome. No two pieces look alike because the fire creates unique patterns.
  • Turned stem and domed base – a slender silhouette with fine gold-toned lines.
  • At 280mm high, this cordless table lamp settles neatly on a shelf, sideboard, or small table.
  • Use it as a rechargeable bedside lamp for late reading and a low light before sleep.
  • This hallway table lamp has a 76mm diameter, leaving room for keys and post on a narrow console.
  • Place the wooden table lamp on a desk or sideboard to soften the room after dark.
  • Each wood-fired shade filters the light slightly differently, giving every lamp its own distinctive glow.
  • 3300K warm LED light – soft yet focused, ideal as a night light, desk lamp, or sculptural table lamp for the living room or meditation corners.
  • Cordless and USB-C rechargeable – fully charges in about 1 hour.
  • Portable at 280mm high, with a broad ceramic shade suited to dining tables, bedside corners, and shelves.
  • Battery runtime: 16 to 48 hours depending on brightness.
  • 1W power | 1500mAh lithium battery | 5V charging voltage

Materials

  • Lampshade: Handcrafted wood-fired jade clay ceramic – glaze, tone, and kiln markings vary naturally.
  • Base and stem: Hand-turned African Blackwood with hand-painted gilt lines and gold-leaf accents.

Please Note

Every wood-fired shade develops differently, and the gilt lines and gold-leaf details on the base also vary from lamp to lamp, making each piece unique. If no preference is specified, we will select a variation at random.

Care

Wipe the ceramic shade and wooden base gently with a soft, dry cloth.

Avoid harsh cleaners, soaking, direct sunlight, or consistently high humidity.

The Story

The Venerable has been late to the same appointment for eighty-three years.

Every first frost, he reports to Morrowbay Station with a gold button and a ticket dated 14 November 1943. He is meant to return both to a woman in a blue coat, but he runs a little late every morning so he misses her.
