A tall, clean-lined pottery lamp in a soft buttercream glaze, the creamy yellow of fresh butter that looks warmer in daylight and quieter at night. The body is a broad, straight-sided column with softly rounded corners, stepping in at the shoulder to a short neck that carries a brass socket. There is no pattern and no ornament, just a smooth, even glaze and strong, confident proportions.
Vintage and mid-century in style, it brings color and sculptural height without clutter. At 7.5" in diameter and 21.5" tall without a shade, it is a natural for a bedside table, console, sideboard or desk, and it pairs easily with linen, drum or pleated shades. The shade in our photos is for reference only and is not included.

Q: What does mid-century style mean here?
A: It refers to the clean lines, simple forms and soft, solid-color glazes popular in mid-20th-century pottery and lighting. We describe this lamp as mid-century in style because it matches that look. We have not identified a maker or designer, so we don't attribute it to one.
Q: What bulb should I use?
A: Use a bulb at or below the maximum wattage marked on the socket. An LED bulb in a warm white tone is a good choice because it runs cool and gives a soft glow through a linen or pleated shade, which suits the buttercream glaze.
