Embossed Christmas Bell Porcelain Table Lamp 23cm - White

This embossed porcelain table lamp takes the classic shape of a Christmas bell, from the rounded crown with its little loop to the wide, flared rim. Its white matt surface carries a festive scene in low relief: a sleigh piled high with presents, wrapped parcels hanging on strings, and a gift tucked near the base, framed by scrolling borders at the crown and around the rim. Unlit, it reads as a quiet white bell; switched on, the porcelain glows a warm cream and the scene stands out in shadow and light. It stands 23cm tall and 18.6cm across, a neat size for a table or shelf.

We think it suits a hall table, a sideboard, a mantelpiece or a bedside table through the Christmas season, adding a warm glow to the room as the evenings draw in. It runs from the mains on a UK plug at 240V, so place it within reach of a socket; the white cable has its own on/off switch along its length. It is a lamp for dry rooms indoors. A white bell sits happily alongside silver, gold or traditional red decorations, and it makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for anyone who loves to decorate the house each December.

The bell is porcelain, and it takes an E14 bulb of no more than 25W, so check the wattage before you fit one. The relief is part of the porcelain itself, which is what lets the picture show when the lamp is on. To care for it, switch off, unplug and let the bulb cool, then dust with a soft dry cloth; a lightly damp cloth will lift marks from the outside, and the lamp should be fully dry before it goes back on. Porcelain deserves a gentle hand, so set it on a level surface away from the edge. Tied with a ribbon, it makes a ready-made Christmas present.
