Yellow Flowers Porcelain Table Lamp - Ivory Pleated Shade

The Yellow Flowers is a 440mm-tall table lamp built around a hand-painted Chinese porcelain vase base decorated with yellow and purple floral motifs on a pale cream ground. The porcelain sits on a dark wood plinth and is topped with a 310mm-diameter ivory polycotton box-pleated shade and an aged brass finial. An E27 bulb socket inside the shade accepts any standard screw bulb up to 60W.

Designed for bedside tables, console tables in hallways, and side tables in sitting rooms, the lamp provides soft ambient light filtered through the pleated fabric shade. The 240mm-tall porcelain base gives the lamp enough visual weight to anchor a bedside table without dominating a narrow console. The floral pattern on the porcelain is hand-painted rather than transfer-printed, so brushstroke variation and slight tonal differences are visible on close inspection.

The ivory shade diffuses light evenly in all directions, making the lamp more suited to ambient use than reading. The box-pleat construction creates vertical ridges that cast subtle shadow lines when the lamp is lit. The aged brass finial at the top of the shade matches the brass components inside the lamp fitting and adds a warm metallic accent against the cool porcelain tones. The dark wood base measures 190mm across and provides a stable footprint on polished or carpeted surfaces.

What bulb does it take?

The lamp takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for ambient bedroom or living room lighting.

Is the porcelain hand-painted?

Yes. The yellow and purple floral pattern is hand-painted onto the porcelain vase rather than transfer-printed, so each lamp shows slight variation in brushstroke detail and colour intensity. This is a characteristic of the production method, not a defect.

Can the shade be replaced?

The shade is a standard E27 table lamp shade with a 190mm top diameter and 310mm bottom diameter. Replacement shades with the same dimensions can be sourced separately if the original shade becomes damaged or you wish to change the colour.

How is the porcelain cleaned?

Wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a barely-damp cloth with distilled water. Avoid soaking the porcelain base and do not use household sprays or chemical cleaners, as these may damage the hand-painted surface or the glaze.
