About the Item
Pair of mid-20th-century Dutch Delft Royal Tichelaar Makkum polychrome ceramic table lamps with new olive green velvet shades—ideal for eclectic, bohemian, or traditional interiors; newly wired with U.S. plugs and ready to use.
Beautifully handcrafted by Amitābha Studio, this pair of table lamps is made from mid-20th-century hand-painted Dutch pottery by Koninklijke Tichelaar Makkum, one of the Netherlands’ oldest and most esteemed ceramic workshops. Each base is richly decorated in the Delft polychrome tradition, with stylized florals, symmetrical scrolling motifs in a deep cobalt blue, brick red and green.
The forms are elegant: gently flared, faceted silhouettes that rise to a crisp collar, offering both sculptural impact and a vertical rhythm that works beautifully on bedside tables or living-room consoles. The undersides carry the hand-painted Makkum shield mark, model number 495, and a painter’s initial—consistent with c. 1950s–1970s production.
To complement the richly detailed ceramic, Amitābha Studio has paired the bases with custom olive green velvet drum shades with Houlès Paris trum. The deep, warm green velvet introduces a sophisticated contemporary counterpoint to the historic patterning, giving the lamps a luxurious presence when lit or unlit. New brass fittings and a matching olive-toned fabric-wrapped cord complete the ensemble.
These lamps are ideal for interiors embracing bohemian maximalism, European country house style, or classic traditional design—bringing color, craftsmanship, and history into the room in a way that feels refined yet inviting.
The lamps were created without altering the original ceramic vases in any way.
⸻
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.

About Royal Tichelaar Makkum
Tichelaar Makkum is one of the oldest continuously operating ceramic workshops in Europe, with origins tracing back to 1572 in the Frisian town of Makkum, the Netherlands. Known for its mastery of tin-glazed earthenware, the workshop became a key producer within the broader Delftware tradition, preserving hand-painted techniques and polychrome decoration through centuries of production. Pieces from Makkum are recognized for their refined craftsmanship, distinctive color palette, and adherence to historic Dutch ceramic methods, making the workshop an important name for collectors of Northern European pottery.
About Amitābha Studio
Amitābha Studio is a design atelier dedicated to transforming historic ceramics into one-of-a-kind lighting objects. Each lamp is crafted with deep reverence for the original form, using non-invasive methods that preserve the integrity of every antique or vintage vase. We pair these bases with bespoke lampshades—often made from luxurious textiles such as vintage sari silks or fine European fabrics—and finish each piece with carefully selected cords, fittings, and handmade brass elements. Our work is guided by a commitment to sustainability, cultural heritage, and timeless design.

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.
