Care
Dust the base with a dry cloth, and brush the shade with a soft brush or a vacuum on its lowest setting. The brass darkens with time; polish it back if you prefer it bright. Full care guide
Cap switched on
The glazed dome sends the light down in a soft ring onto the table, so the room stays dim around it.

How every Cap is made
Three weeks from a ball of clay to a lamp in a box, most of it drying and in the kiln.
Thrown
The base is thrown on the wheel, then trimmed by hand once it is leather-hard.
Glazed
After a first firing it is dipped by hand, thick enough to break over each throwing line.
Fired
A second firing melts the glaze into the clay. Every kiln load comes out a little different.
Wired
Fitted with brass and a cloth cord, then tested and tagged by a licensed electrician.
What Cap is made of
Stoneware, glazed by hand
Thrown from 2.6 kg of Victorian clay, glazed inside and out and fired to 1280 degrees.
A ceramic dome
Thrown separately and glazed on both sides, so the light falls in a soft ring onto the table.
Braided cloth cord
Two metres of cotton-covered cord in linen, rust or charcoal, with a brass inline switch.
On a walnut bedside table, 10 pm
Cap in chalk, with a warm 2700K bulb. Made for small bedsides, shelves and children's rooms.

From the studio
Cap started as a lamp for my daughter's room. It is all ceramic, so there is nothing to knock over or tear, and the dome keeps the light low and soft.

The perfect bedside lamp for a small room. The dome keeps the light on the table and out of my partner's eyes.
Ava B.Castlemaine in chalk
Verified buyer, September 2026
Bought for our daughter's room. It is heavy enough that she cannot knock it over, and soft enough to read by at night.

Small, solid and a little sculptural. It looks good switched off, which matters on a shelf.
Ben O.Perth in chalk
Verified buyer, June 2026
Gorgeous, though smaller than I pictured. Check the size against your shelf before you order.

Questions about Cap
Which bulb does Cap take?
An E27 bulb. We suggest a warm 2700K LED of 6 to 8 watts, which keeps the shade cool and the light the colour you see in our photographs.
Can I dim Cap?
Yes, with a dimmable LED bulb and a plug-in dimmer, or a dimmable smart bulb. The switch on the cord turns it on and off.
How long does a made-to-order glaze take?
About four weeks. Cap is kept in stock in chalk; in any other glaze, your base is glazed and fired in the next kiln load, then wired and tested before it ships.
Will my lamp look exactly like the photographs?
Close, but never exactly. Each base is thrown and glazed by hand, so the speckle, the crackle and the way the glaze breaks differ a little from lamp to lamp.
What if it arrives damaged?
Send us a photo within seven days and we send a replacement from the next kiln load, at no cost to you.
