About the Item

This hand-fired terracotta jar lamp channels the rugged simplicity of Mediterranean craft. Originally formed as a storage vessel, it was fired in open-kiln conditions, yielding a textured clay body that ranges from deep burnt-umber at the base to pale stone at the neck. Dana Fabe Repurposed as a table lamp and completed with brass fittings and a UK cable, this piece preserves its original silhouette and material integrity while offering modern functionality. The unglazed terracotta finish reveals fine mineral veining and tactile surface variation — marks of age, use and kiln-driven transformation. This lamp suits interiors where texture and quiet presence matter: imagine it alongside raw timber, mellow brass, natural linens or in rooms grounded by cement, stone or weathered surfaces. Material: Unglazed terracotta Origin: Western Mediterranean-inspired (20th Century) Condition: Excellent vintage condition; wear consistent with provenance and age Technical Details: Standard E27 fitting; UK plug supplied. Lampshade not included. Dana Fabe Care: Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid immersion or harsh cleaning agents to preserve the clay’s integrity and patina.
