Handbuilt terracotta lamps, decorated in white slip and sgraffito, depicting warriors, flag bearers and war horses. 1690 Famille Verte is a reworking of a traditional style of Chinese porcelain introduced in the Kangxi period of the late 17th century, which uses sgraffito on terracotta, as opposed to fine brush strokes and is defined by a typical palette of greens, blue and iron oxide. Pollen dusted moths flutter at the neck, attracted as they are to the light. These lamps are wired with antique-bronze fittings, Italian twist cable and bakelite-style plugs.

The Nón Lá shade featured here is designed especially for the 1690 Famille Verte lamp and is available to order separately in a range of fabrics, prints and colours. Click here for further details.

These lamps are wired for the UK, but they can just as easily be wired for the US and Europe. US and European lamps are operated by an in-line switch on the cable. Please specify your preference by email after ordering.

Please note, I have two Famille Verte lamps wired for the UK in stock, ready for immediate dispatch.
