Description
This small glass cup table lamp sets a clear, faceted glass shade on a round gold base, with an LED bulb inside where you can see it. The glass is patterned all over with rows of raised diamond studs that catch the eye from every side, so the lamp looks good on a shelf even when it is switched off. It stands 11.2cm tall, 7.8cm wide and 7.9cm deep, roughly the size of a drinking tumbler, which makes it an easy lamp to find room for. The clear glass and gold together sit happily on dark wood or a pale painted shelf.
Because it runs on two AAA batteries rather than mains power, it needs no plug socket and no trailing cable, so it can go wherever a little light is welcome: a bookshelf, a bedside table, a hallway console, a mantelpiece or a dressing table. It is a lamp for dry rooms indoors, and its small footprint means it fits on a crowded shelf or a narrow windowsill without fuss. We think it makes a thoughtful new home gift, a small and useful thing for someone settling into a new place who has not yet worked out where every socket is.
The shade is clear glass and the base is gold, a pairing that sits comfortably beside gilt picture frames and mirrors. The two AAA batteries are not included, so it is worth picking some up at the same time, especially if it is a gift. To keep the glass sparkling, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe away fingermarks with a slightly damp one, then dry it, keeping water away from the base and bulb. Set it on a bedside table for the end of the evening, or give it to someone who would rather not keep a naked flame in a dark corner.
