Elstead Blue Traditional Single Table Lamp - Blue

A blue and white landscape on the side table

Porcelain painted with a full blue and white landscape wraps the vase shaped base of this table lamp: pagodas, sailing boats, wind bent pine and birds scattered across the sky, all set against a crackled cream glaze that gives the surface real depth.

The porcelain and the plinth

Turn the lamp and the scene keeps going the whole way round, a bridge, a distant mountain, little junks scattered across the water, with a painted fretwork border running around the base. The porcelain sits on a turned wood plinth finished in a dark stain, which grounds the piece visually, while the cream pleated fabric shade above keeps the overall look softly traditional rather than ornate.

How it works

It takes a single E27 LED bulb, not included, and runs on Class I wiring, giving a gentle, ambient glow better suited to a quiet corner than close reading. Fit a dimmable bulb and you can bring the level down further for evenings.

Where it works best

At 73cm tall with a 46cm shade, it has enough presence for a living room side table or a hallway console, and works just as well on a bedroom chest of drawers or a dining room sideboard. It suits any spot where a classic blue and white piece would feel at home.

Questions People Ask

What bulb does this lamp use, and is it included? It takes a single E27 LED bulb, which isn't included, so choose a dimmable bulb if you want to use it with a dimmer switch.

Can I dim this lamp? Yes, provided you fit a dimmable E27 bulb. The lamp itself runs on Class I wiring and works with any standard dimmer compatible bulb.

Is the fabric shade included? Yes. The cream pleated fabric shade shown is part of the lamp as sold, sitting above the painted porcelain base on its turned wood plinth.

How tall is this lamp? It stands 73cm tall overall with a 46cm diameter shade, and the porcelain body itself is around 19cm wide at its widest point, so it suits a reasonably sized side table or console rather than a small occasional table.
