About the Item
Vintage Delft Tichelaar Makkum hand-painted ceramic table lamp with a richly decorated floral body, newly paired with a blue linen lampshade trimmed in Houlès passementerie and finished with a matching fabric-wrapped cord. New wiring, socket and plugs for your country of use.
This statement table lamp is crafted from an original hand-painted Tichelaar Makkum ceramic vase, produced in the Netherlands during the mid-20th century. The surface is richly decorated in the Dutch Delft polychrome tradition, featuring stylized florals, scrolling foliage, and symmetrical motifs rendered in deep cobalt blue, brick red, and soft green against a warm ivory ground. The decoration is lively yet balanced, with fine linework and confident brushstrokes that wrap the vessel continuously. As is characteristic of Makkum production, the painting is executed entirely by hand rather than transfer, giving the piece depth, variation, and individuality.
The underside bears the Makkum shield mark with model number 495, a marking associated with mid-century production. While exact dating varies by painter and form, this style and mark are generally attributed to circa 1940s–1970s.
Amitābha Studio has carefully transformed the vase into a functional lamp without altering or damaging the original ceramic. It has been newly wired and fitted with brass hardware, then paired with a custom blue linen lampshade, finished with refined Houlès passementerie trim. A matching fabric-wrapped cord completes the ensemble, adding a tailored, studio-crafted finish that complements the historic ceramic without overpowering it.
About Royal Tichelaar Makkum
Royal Tichelaar Makkum is one of the oldest continuously operating ceramic workshops in Europe, founded in 1572 in the Frisian town of Makkum, the Netherlands. Renowned for its mastery of tin-glazed earthenware, the workshop became a key contributor to the Delftware tradition, preserving hand-painting techniques across centuries. During the mid-20th century, Makkum produced decorative ceramics that balanced historic Dutch ornamentation with modern forms, making pieces from this period especially sought after by collectors. Their work is recognized for its refined craftsmanship, rich color palette, and enduring commitment to artisanal production.

Amitābha Studio
Amitābha Studio is a husband-and-wife creative design studio founded in Amsterdam in 2021 by Davide Piai and Kimberly Poppe. The name "Amitābha" means "limitless light" in Sanskrit.
Davide Piai is an Italian craftsman with talents encompassing art, music, and culinary arts. Kimberly Poppe is an American artist, fine art photographer, curator, and interior designer, educated at Parsons School of Design and Sotheby's Institute of Art.
Together, they create functional art objects—notably luxury lighting and lamps—by meticulously sourcing and transforming antique and vintage ceramics into handcrafted designer pieces. Each of their lamps is one-of-a-kind.
In 2025, Amitābha Studio relocated to Sitges, on the Mediterranean coast south of Barcelona, Spain. While Dutch pottery remains at the heart of their collection, the move has allowed them to incorporate the rich ceramic heritage of Spain into their work.
The studio has collaborated with prestigious institutions, including Aronson Antiquairs for 17th-century Delftware and Royal Delft.

The arrival in Western Europe of the first shiploads of Chinese porcelain, lacquerware, ivory and silk in the 17th century stimulated interest in China, or Cathay, as it was then called. Europeans soon began copying the Chinese artworks and decorative objects. These decorative arts inspired by China, which enjoyed their heyday in the late 17th, 18th and early 19th centuries, are known as chinoiserie.
Soon after the introduction of expensive Chinese...
