Oud Delft Vintage Tobacco Jar Table Lamp – Toeback
This unique table lamp features a rare tobacco jar crafted by Oud Delft, the esteemed Dutch factory founded by Roelof Elshout in 1920 in Nijmegen. The jar, likely produced post-1968, reflects the enduring quality and aesthetic of traditional Delftware, adorned with intricate hand-painted patterns in rich shades of blue and inscribed with the word “Toeback,” a Dutch term for tobacco. This historical reference nods to the jar's original purpose as a tobacco container, transformed now into an elegant and functional piece for modern interiors.
The lamp is paired with a custom-made pleated lampshade, made from a vintage Indian silk sari in complementary tones of deep blue, beige, and red. The pleated fabric introduces a refined texture that balances beautifully with the jar’s structured form, creating a harmonious blend of color and craftsmanship.
This lamp, bearing Oud Delft’s printed mark, represents an authentic piece of Dutch artistry, bridging traditional techniques with contemporary design. It serves as a statement piece, perfect for adding an air of elegance and history to any living room or bedroom.
