Birds in Tree Handmade Ceramic Table Lamp

There is something immediately joyful about the Birds in Tree handmade ceramic table lamp. Artist Michael Macone fills all four panels of the shade with vivid orange birds perched along sweeping black branches, bright yellow suns radiating warmth from each corner, and a softly textured background of pale blues and greens that seems to breathe when the lamp is lit. It is the kind of nature art lamp that makes people stop and ask where you got it.

Size: 8" x 8" x 24-26" Material: Handmade ceramic lamp base with melted glass finish, UV coated archival art paper shade Display: Table lamp, indoor use Made in the USA: Handmade in Shell Lake, Wisconsin

The base is extruded clay with melted glass fused over the surface, handcrafted in Shell Lake, Wisconsin so that every single one comes out a little different. It sits on a distressed wood stand that anchors the piece without competing with it, and a glass finial at the top of the shade gives it a finished, considered look. Natural variation from one handmade table lamp to the next is not a flaw here, it is the whole point.

The shade is made from Michael Macone's original artwork printed on heavy archival art paper and UV coated so the colors stay true over time. When the lamp is off the design is bold and graphic. When it is on, the orange birds seem to glow from within, the suns warm up, and the cool blue and green background takes on a luminous quality that transforms the whole room. It works as a unique table lamp in a living room, a bedroom, an entryway or anywhere else you want a little life on the walls without actually hanging anything.

Choose your base from the options shown, each photographed with this shade so there are no surprises. Stoneware finishes come in green, white, brown, and gray. Earthenware bases are available in straight or twisted styles in red, blue, and gray, each with that characteristic melted glass surface that catches the light even when the lamp itself is off.

Handmade art does not have to be serious to be meaningful. This ceramic table lamp is playful and warm and genuinely well made, and whether you are shopping for bird home decor, a one of a kind nature lamp, or just the most interesting thing in the room, it will bring that same joyful energy to wherever you put it.
