This table lamp begins with a simple, authentic vessel from China’s Shandong province — a rustic stoneware pot from the 1940s that once held water and vegetable oil. Its rounded, handleless shape carries the gentle traces of everyday use, a quiet kind of beauty shaped only by time.

On the front, a hand-painted Chinese character appears: 糯米 – “glutinous rice”. A small, almost incidental mark that tells the story of its former purpose, resting today like a poetic trace on the clay surface. A hint of origin, meaning, and the hands that once used it.

Paired with a handcrafted lampshade made from fine Belgian linen, the old vessel becomes a warm lighting piece that unites history, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty.
