Clearance Pamono Tichelaar Makkum Delft Virginia Tobacco Jar Table Lamp, New Silk Lampshade

Meet Virginia, a one-of-a-kind table lamp crafted from a rare vintage Royal Tichelaar Makkum Delft tobacco jar, likely produced between 1948 and 1979. Historically, jars like this were used to store fine tobacco, and the name “Virginia” reflects the connection to the once-prized Virginia tobacco imported to Europe. This jar is an outstanding example of hand-painted Delft pottery, adorned with vibrant blue, green, and golden ochre floral motifs. The intricate detailing, including the prominent “Virginia” at its center, is framed by designs influenced by both Dutch and Chinese decorative arts, a hallmark of the Chinoiserie style that was popular at the time.

A custom pleated lampshade, made from a vintage Indian silk sari in golden ochre with navy blue and green florals, complements the jar’s fine detailing perfectly. The combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern design makes Virginia more than just a lamp—it’s a statement piece that brings history and elegance into any space, whether it’s a living room or bedroom.

This lamp is signed with the Royal Tichelaar Makkum mark, ensuring its authenticity and prestigious heritage. Transformed into a functional art piece, Virginia is a true collector’s item that will add timeless elegance to any space.
