Description
This round table lamp is a white porcelain ball covered in raised snowflakes, large and small, scattered all around it. Switched off, it reads as a soft matt white ornament; switched on, the light glows warmly through the ceramic and picks out each snowflake, with tiny points of light at their centres. It stands 21cm tall, 17cm wide and 13.5cm deep, a compact size that sits happily on a side table, a shelf or a windowsill without crowding it, and it rests steadily on its own base.
We think it is at its best through the Christmas season, when a gentle glow suits the dark afternoons and long evenings. Set it on a hall table to welcome guests, on a sideboard beside the cards, or in a living room corner where the ceiling light feels too bright. It also makes a calm bedside light, giving just enough glow to read by before you settle down to sleep. It is made for dry rooms indoors, so keep it to living spaces, hallways and bedrooms. Plain white sits easily with most winter schemes, whether you decorate in silver and white or in richer reds and greens.
The lamp takes an E14 bulb of up to 25 watts, a modest rating that suits the soft glow it is made to give. A switch sits along the white cable, so you can turn it on and off without reaching behind furniture to the socket. To care for it, switch it off and let it cool, then dust it with a soft dry cloth; a lightly damp cloth will lift any marks from the ceramic, as long as you dry it afterwards and keep the cloth away from the bulb fitting. We like it on a mantelpiece among sprigs of greenery and pine cones, and it makes a thoughtful Christmas gift to bring out each winter, year after year.
