About the Item

This vintage ceramic table lamp was handcrafted by Amitābha Studio in Amsterdam from a rare amphora-shaped vase by Flora Gouda, part of the Porcelina series produced between 1950 and 1970. We’ve paired the base with a bespoke hand-pleated lampshade in a reinterpreted William Morris Acanthus print, and finished it with a soft blue silk cord. The lamp was created without harming the original vase in any way. The amphora form, with its fluted pedestal and graceful curves, reflects a neoclassical influence filtered through the clean, modernist lines of mid-century Dutch design. Finished in a pale, slate-toned matte glaze, the vase belongs to Flora’s Porcelina series—developed to meet shifting postwar tastes toward muted, architectural ceramics. Its powdery surface diffuses light gently, lending the lamp a quiet, sculptural quality. The lampshade’s pleated craftsmanship echoes the vase’s ribbed detailing, while the indigo and ivory palette of the William Morris textile subtly mirrors the vase’s color story. Together, the lamp and shade create a thoughtful dialogue between classical reference and 20th-century restraint. This Flora Gouda lamp offers a refined accent for side tables, writing desks, or bedside arrangements—ideal for interiors where mid-century lighting and classic form intersect. ⸻ 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. For U.S. customers: Any new tariff-related surcharges are already included in our shipment costs. We take care of these fees in advance so there are no unexpected charges upon delivery. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us! ⸻ About the Flora Gouda: Founded in 1945 in Gouda, Plateelbakkerij Flora became one of the Netherlands’ most forward-looking ceramic manufacturers during the postwar years. Known for balancing expressive glazing with modern silhouettes, Flora continued the Dutch tradition of decorative earthenware into the 1970s. The Porcelina series—recognizable by its soft matte finishes and classical shapes—marked a transitional moment in the company’s design legacy. Flora eventually merged into Royal Goedewaagen in the 1990s. About Amitābha Studio: Amitābha Studio is an Amsterdam-based atelier specializing in the transformation of antique and vintage European ceramics into sculptural lighting pieces. Every lamp is created using non-invasive methods that preserve the original form, and is paired with a carefully selected lampshade made from luxurious textiles such as pleated silks, vintage prints, or fine woven cottons. Our process reflects a commitment to sustainability, cultural history, and design that endures.
