Table Lamp Moon Jar taupe finish incl shade

The Met x Eichholtz presents the Table Lamp Moon Jar by Eichholtz, a modern design inspired by a Korean moon jar made in the second half of the 18th century during the Joseon dynasty (1392–1910).

Our interpretation reimagines The Met’s striking porcelain vessel, named for its lunar form, with a taupe and brushed-brass finish and a handmade linen-mix shade from the Netherlands. This sophisticated table lamp is a fusion of historical and contemporary styles, and casts a warm, enchanting glow that enriches any space.

HISTORIC PROVENANCE

The Table Lamp Moon Jar is 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, which were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries during the Joseon dynasty (1392–1910), were typically crafted in two halves and then joined by hand. The moon jar that inspired this lamp has, in some spots, turned a light peachy color as part of the firing process. These imperfections recall the beauty of nature. The Table Lamp Moon Jar has a taupe finish with brushed-brass detailing and a linen-mix shade handcrafted in the Netherlands.”
