FAQs

The practice of converting imported porcelain jars and vases into lighting fixtures became popular in Europe and America during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as interior designers sought to incorporate exotic artefacts into domestic spaces.

These items are traditionally constructed from high-fired hard-paste porcelain, finished with hand-painted overglaze polychrome or cobalt blue pigments, and mounted on wooden or metal bases for stability.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-painted brushwork with slight irregularities, fine crazing in the glaze, age-appropriate wear to the underside, and older electrical wiring or hardware modifications consistent with mid-century or earlier conversions.

They function effectively as focal points on sideboards, consoles, or bedside tables, pairing well with neutral pleated silk or linen shades to balance traditional ornamentation with modern simplicity.

Dust the ceramic surface regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid using chemical cleaning agents or submerging the base in water to protect the integrity of the glaze and internal wiring components.
