About the Item

Exquisitely handcrafted by Amitābha Studio in Amsterdam, Toeback is a one-of-a-kind table lamp made from a rare Oud Delft tobacco jar, reflecting the legacy of this celebrated Dutch ceramics brand. Established in 1920 by W.A. van der Want in Nijmegen, Netherlands, Oud Delft is renowned for its exceptional Delftware, which merges traditional Dutch craftsmanship with a modern aesthetic. Known for their distinct glazes and intricate hand-painted motifs, Oud Delft pieces, like their iconic KLM houses crafted exclusively for Dutch airlines, have captivated collectors worldwide. This particular jar, produced post-1968, is adorned with deep blue hand-painted patterns and inscribed with “Toeback” (“tobacco” in Dutch), paying homage to its original purpose as a tobacco container. We've paired the jar with a custom pleated lampshade crafted from a vintage Indian silk sari, featuring a striking blend of deep blue, beige, and red. The fine textures of the sari harmonize beautifully with the jar’s structured form, uniting historic charm with contemporary design. The lamp was created without compromising the integrity of the original jar, preserving its authenticity and artistic significance. With Oud Delft’s printed mark as a testament to its heritage, this lamp offers a timeless statement piece for any refined interior, blending Dutch artistry and global flair. ⸻ Please note: The lamp is fully wired for use in the U.S. Additionally, the listed height includes the lampshade. We also ensure compatibility for global use by offering a free plug customization service to match the electrical standards of your specific country. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us! ⸻ About Amitābha Studio: Amitābha Studio is a design atelier dedicated to transforming historic European ceramics into one-of-a-kind lighting objects. Each lamp is crafted with deep reverence for the original form, using non-invasive methods that preserve the integrity of every antique or vintage vase. We pair these bases with bespoke lampshades—often made from luxurious textiles such as vintage sari silks or fine European fabrics—and finish each piece with carefully selected cords, fittings, and handmade brass elements. Our work is guided by a commitment to sustainability, cultural heritage, and timeless design.
