Handmade Clay Lamps and Mood Lamps from Macone Clay
Every handmade lamp in our collection is designed to be equal parts lighting and art. Our clay lamps start with extruded clay and stoneware bases, shaped and glazed by hand in our Shell Lake, Wisconsin pottery studio, then topped with a glowing art shade featuring original artwork by Michael Macone. Our mood lamps bring that same artwork to a smaller 12 inch table lamp with a distressed wood base and a glowing archival paper shade, perfect for bedside tables, shelves, and cozy corners.
Ceramic Table Lamps and Mood Lamps: Two Styles of Artisan Lighting
- Handmade Clay Table Lamps: Hand-built extruded clay and stoneware pottery lamp bases in straight and twisted shapes, paired with glowing art shades. Measuring about 8 x 8 inches and standing 24 to 26 inches tall, these ceramic table lamps have 3-way lighting that gives off plenty of light for reading and working, and they make a statement on a desk, end table, or console table.
- Mood Lamps: Compact 12 inch table lamps with a 4.5 inch square distressed wood base and an open-top archival paper shade that casts warm ambient light. A mood lamp makes a beautiful accent lamp, soft bedside lamp, or gentle night light for a bedroom, nursery, dorm room, or cozy corner.
Unique Table Lamps with Glowing Stained-Glass Style Art
What makes our lamps unique is the art on every shade. Choose a dragonfly lamp, a bird lamp, a birch tree lamp, or bold patterns like bright stripes, chevrons, colorful vines, and connected circles. When the lamp is off, the shade looks like a piece of art. When it's on, the stained-glass style colors glow with depth and warmth, filling your room with artful light.
Handmade Lamps Make Unique Gifts
Our handmade lamps make memorable housewarming gifts, wedding gifts, and gifts for art lovers. A mood lamp is an especially thoughtful gift for a teen's bedroom, a college dorm, or a new nursery, while our clay table lamps make an heirloom-quality gift for anyone who loves handmade pottery and one-of-a-kind home decor.
