Tichelaar Makkum Delft Tobacco Jar Table Lamp, New Pleated Silk Shade, 1948-1979

About the Item

Exquisitely handcrafted by Amitābha Studio in Amsterdam, Virginia is a one-of-a-kind table lamp made from a rare vintage Royal Tichelaar Makkum Delft tobacco jar, produced between 1948 and 1979. Historically used to store premium Virginia tobacco, this jar beautifully exemplifies Royal Tichelaar Makkum’s masterful Delft pottery, blending Dutch craftsmanship with Chinoiserie-inspired decorative elements. The jar’s hand-painted floral motifs, rendered in vibrant shades of blue, green, and golden ochre, are framed by the prominent “Virginia” label, a nod to the once-coveted tobacco imported to Europe. Paired with a custom pleated lampshade, made from a vintage Indian silk sari in complementary tones of golden ochre, navy blue, and green florals, Virginia brings together timeless craftsmanship and modern luxury. The intricate details of the jar harmonize perfectly with the luxurious silk lampshade, making this piece a sophisticated statement in any interior space, from the living room to the bedroom. Signed with the hallmark of Royal Tichelaar Makkum, the Netherlands’ oldest ceramics company, founded in 1572, this remarkable lamp preserves the original jar’s form while seamlessly transforming it into a functional work of art. The vase itself remains unharmed in the process, ensuring its authenticity and preservation for collectors. Virginia is more than just a table lamp—it’s a testament to centuries of ceramic artistry, blending historical Dutch design with modern, bespoke elegance. Whether you are drawn to its rich heritage or its exquisite detailing, Virginia is the perfect addition for those seeking a truly unique and timeless collector’s piece. 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.
