Meet Lotus, a one-of-a-kind table lamp lovingly handcrafted by Amitābha Studio from a rare vintage Flora Gouda vase, produced during the short-lived Lotus series in 1977. Introduced at the twilight of Flora’s artisanal era, this decor marks one of the factory’s final hand-painted series before the shift to industrial production. Its striking inky blue glaze—often described as “inimitable”—sets the stage for a rhythmic frieze of ivory-toned abstract motifs. Hand-painted in expressive freehand brushstrokes, each piece in the Lotus series is subtly unique, capturing the expressive, modernist spirit of late 20th-century Dutch ceramics.
The vase base is paired with a custom lampshade handmade in an atelier near Amsterdam, crafted from Liberty Fabric’s limited-edition Marquess Garden Chesham Sateen in Lapis. This dense floral print revives a 1977 archival design, echoing the late Arts and Crafts revival style with a palette inspired by Delft and Persian ceramics. The cool blues and crisp white patterning echo the tones of the Lotus vase below, while the vibrant fabric introduces a textural and ornamental counterpoint.
Together, the vase base and lampshade fabric—both designed in 1977, though independently—form an unusually cohesive and richly layered lamp. The pairing celebrates two distinct craft heritages: Dutch plateel pottery and British textile design. With its saturated tones and ornamental silhouette, Lotus brings refined character to spaces that blend vintage and modern aesthetics. Ideal in a serene bedroom, a richly styled living room, or as a singular accent in a more eclectic interior, this lamp balances strong visual impact with quiet decorative grace.
The lamp is finished with a custom-cut brass top that echoes the shape of the vase, along with a matching blue cord that complements its rich palette. As with all our work, the vase has been preserved in its original form — the lamp was created without any alteration or damage. The final image shows Lotus alongside her sister lamp, Flora, also available for sale.
