Elga Stoneware Pendant Light - White

This pendant light has a stoneware shade painted by hand with fine horizontal lines that circle it from just below the collar to the rim. The shade is a softly tapered dome, narrower at the top and fuller towards its open base, finished with a smooth cylindrical collar where the cable enters. The surface is gently rippled, so the painted lines wander a little as they travel round. The whole light measures 14.5cm across and 21.5cm tall, with the shade itself 19cm tall, so this is a compact pendant rather than a wide one.

Its size suits places where a large shade would crowd the space: over a kitchen worktop or island, above a small dining table, or hung in a row along a counter. The white shade sits well in a kitchen with painted cupboards, wooden worktops or a dresser of everyday china, and the painted lines give it a relaxed, homely look. Stoneware is dense and does not glow through the way glass does, so a stoneware shade sends its light downwards from the rim, which makes it a good light over a surface rather than one to fill a whole room. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry rooms only.

The light is 80% stoneware, with 10% iron and 10% PVC making up the rest, and it weighs 0.9KG. It takes an E27 bulb, which is not included; the maximum is 25W, or LED 5W, or CFL 9W, so choose an E27 LED of 5W or less. There is 250cm of cable, which gives plenty of length to hang it low over a worktop or table, even from a taller ceiling. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. For styling, hang it low enough beside a dresser or open shelves that the hand painting can be seen up close.
