A quietly luminous piece with a life before this one.
This lamp began as a small Chinese oyster jar — the kind once used along the southern coast for storing oysters, sauces, and spices. Its form is simple and traditional, but the glaze tells another story: soft, abstract washes of cobalt drifting across a crackled, pale surface. A landscape painted by chance.
Sometime in the mid-20th century, the jar was transformed into a lamp, allowing its gentle character to unfold in a new way. Today it offers a warm, atmospheric glow and a sense of history that feels both humble and poetic.
A beautiful meeting of utility, craftsmanship, and time.
