How Much is a Japanese Pottery Lamp?

A Japanese pottery lamp can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $1,800, while the lowest priced sells for $149 and the highest can go for as much as $3,800.

Finding the Right Table-lamps for You

Antique table lamps became a category of their own once electricity moved light off the wall and onto furniture. The form split quickly: task-driven designs like the Anglepoise on one side, decorative ceramic and glass on the other.

Styles to Know

Base material shapes the light as much as the shade does: ceramic and glass diffuse a softer glow, while brass and metal read more directional. Layer the look with a mid-century modern floor lamp for ambient light, or set a pair on a mid-century modern nightstand for a bedroom.

How to Choose the Right Vintage Table Lamp

Buying individually rather than as a pair allows more flexibility when mixing eras across a room. For those shopping by name rather than by shape, the history of the Anglepoise lamp is worth a read. Each piece comes from a vetted 1stDibs seller, with era, designer and condition detailed, and the 1stDibs Promise stands behind every purchase.

    Yes, some Japanese pottery is valuable. Generally, the type, style, age, maker and condition affect how much a particular piece is worth. Some varieties of Japanese pottery that often sell for high prices due to demand among collectors include Imari ware, Mino ware and Seto ware. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can give you specific information about whether a particular piece is valuable. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of Japanese pottery.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024
    To tell if your Japanese pottery is antique, look for markings, which usually appear on the bottoms of pieces. If you see the word "Nippon," your piece was likely produced between 1891 and 1921, making it an antique. Pieces marked with the words "made in occupied Japan" originated between 1945 and 1952 and are vintage, based on their age. A "made in Japan" marking may indicate a vintage or contemporary piece. If you don't see any of these markings, consult trusted online resources to get a rough idea of when your pottery was produced. Any piece that dates back 100 years or more is antique. Should you encounter difficulty with the dating process, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Japanese pottery.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    Japanese blue pottery is called sometsuke. When translated literally from Japanese, the word means "with dye." It refers to the fact that sometsuke pottery gets its beautiful color from applying a cobalt dye underglaze on white bisque ceramic. Find a wide variety of Japanese pottery from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
