Details
Sand finish with brushed brass and a handmade linen-mix shade from the Netherlands. Historic provenance: inspired by an 18th-century Korean porcelain moon jar, named for its softly curved form and milky-white color, in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Moon jars were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries during the Joseon dynasty (1392 to 1910) and were typically crafted in two halves and then joined by hand. The jar that inspired this lamp turned a light peachy color in some spots as part of the firing process, imperfections that recall the beauty of nature.
