About the Item

Meet Rappe, an exquisitely handcrafted table lamp created from a rare, vintage Royal Tichelaar Makkum Delft tobacco jar dating back to the mid-20th century (circa 1940–1960). Once used to store "tabac râpé"—a finely ground snuff tobacco—this striking jar is adorned with Tichelaar Makkum’s hallmark hand-painted Delft patterns. With intricate blue motifs and delicate ornamentation, this piece beautifully embodies Dutch decorative arts and the precise craftsmanship for which Tichelaar Makkum is renowned. The jar bears the official Royal Tichelaar Makkum mark, testifying to its authenticity and unique place in Dutch heritage. The base is elegantly paired with a custom-made pleated lampshade crafted from a vintage Indian silk sari, introducing deep blue and rich red tones that echo the jar's intricate designs. The lampshade's fine pleating brings a subtle refinement, while its soft texture contrasts elegantly with the jar's smooth ceramic finish, creating an effortlessly balanced visual appeal. Founded in 1572, Royal Tichelaar Makkum stands as the Netherlands' oldest ceramics company, renowned for preserving the heritage of Delftware through generations of artisans. Today, the factory remains dedicated to merging traditional craftsmanship with contemporary innovation. This transformation of a classic Delftware tobacco jar into the Rappe lamp honors that legacy, offering an eye-catching blend of historical artistry and functional design that’s perfect for adding a touch of Dutch cultural heritage to any living space. ⸻ 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.
