An early 20th century Anatolian terracotta oil jar from Western Turkey, hand-thrown and traditionally fired, now converted into a sculptural table lamp. This vessel was used for storing olive oil or water, with its rounded body and stable base designed for everyday use. The defining feature is the glazed rim, finished in a deep green glaze applied to strengthen and seal the lip during use. This sits in contrast to the unglazed body below, where the terracotta shows a naturally developed patina with tonal variation across warm clay and darker areas formed through firing. Subtle pitting and surface markings are visible throughout, adding depth without overwhelming the form. The proportions are full and grounded, with a broad body and slightly narrowing base, giving the piece a strong, balanced silhouette. The glaze at the top draws the eye upward, adding a layer of contrast and refinement to an otherwise raw, material-led surface. Now reworked as a vintage terracotta lamp...

A large empire lampshade handmade in a natural linen-blend fabric. Defined by its wide tapered silhouette and clean lines, the shade balances larger lamp bases while allowing the form beneath to remain visible. The natural linen fabric softens and diffuses light, creating a warm glow that works particularly well with terracotta, ceramic and antique lamp bases. The neutral tone allows it to sit comfortably within English country interiors, Mediterranean spaces, farmhouse settings and more contemporary schemes. Its generous proportions make it especially suited to oversized table lamps and statement ceramic vessels, where smaller shades can feel under-scaled. The tapered empire profile offers a more traditional and architectural appearance than a drum shade, creating a balanced silhouette while maintaining a light visual presence. Empire shades are characterised by their gently tapered sides and remain one of the most enduring lampshade forms. Designed as the standard pairing for many of our antique terracotta lamps...
