Handmade Ceramic Table Lamps
Each lamp is a unique piece, glazed by hand, so no two are ever quite the same.
The Design
Inspired by the Oyster Shell
Each base is shaped by hand while the clay is still soft. No mould, no cast, no two the same. The form has subtle variations in every piece - a slight lean, a ridge that runs a little deeper, a wall that thickens where the clay decided it wanted to. These are not flaws. They're the record of a hand at work.
The Glazes
For Rooms That Are Tired of Beige
The result is a lamp that reads as a piece of art before it reads as a light source. Something that earns its place on a bedside table or shelf not because it blends in, but because it genuinely doesn't look like anything else in the room.
The Maker
Handcrafted by Rhiannon, in Wollongong
How They're Made
From Clay to Lamplight
After drying and a bisque firing, the glaze is applied by brush in multiple layers. Rhiannon mixes her own glazes in the studio, and the layering is what creates the colour depth you see in the finished pieces, the result of thousands of hours of testing and refining.
A final high-temperature firing fuses everything into a tough, durable surface. Each lamp is then wired by a qualified electrician with a white linen cord, wall plug, and switch, and shipped with an energy saving LED E27 bulb - ready to plug in the moment it arrives.
Why it matters

Australian-made ceramic lamps can cost over $1,500. Rhiannon sells direct from her studio, and every lamp comes complete with the bulb and cord, ready to use the moment it arrives.
Free tracked shipping
Every lamp ships free across Australia with full tracking, individually wrapped and packed carefully for the trip.
FAQ
Questions About The Lamps
Yes. Every lamp includes an LED E27 bulb and a white linen cord with inline switch and Australian plug. It's ready to use the moment it arrives.
No, and it doesn't need one. The sculptural form of the lamp is designed to let the light glow through the ridged walls and diffuse softly into the room. A shade would cover the very thing that makes these lamps special.
Yes. Each lamp is wired by a qualified electrician to Australian standards with an E27 fitting and includes an LED bulb (low heat, energy efficient). The cord has an inline switch and a standard Australian plug.
Each lamp is individually wrapped and packed carefully, using recycled materials where possible. Free tracked shipping Australia-wide is included with every order.
Very close, but not identical - each lamp is a single, unique piece, so the form will vary slightly. Because the glazes are brushed on by hand and fired in small batches, slight variations in tone and texture can occur between firings. This is part of what makes it handmade.
