Meet Sakura! Now for something a little different… Sakura (which means cherry blossom in Japanese) is a one-of-a kind lamp lovingly handcrafted from a vintage Royal Delft (De Porceleyne Fles) White (Delfts Wit) vase. We’ve paired the base with a custom lampshade made from a hand-silkscreened Chiyogami Japanese paper with gold overlay, inspired by patterns on kimono fabrics dating from the Edo period.
De Porceleyne Fles started making White Delft in the 1930’s. Because of the economic depression and the outbreak of the Second World War, the market for hand painted Delftware all but disappeared. The Delft White models were seen as more utilitarian, but still had a unique artistry to them. Instead of the feature being the hand-painting, it became the shape of the vase itself. At the end of the sixties the total collection, consisted of more than 174 different creatively shaped models. In 1976 production was stopped. Today, only the tulip vases are made in Delfts Wit.
