There’s something about tea cups and saucers, and the idea of a good old British tea, that seems to inspire quirky lamps.
Here’s another take on it, with this lamp base going all out and including not just tea cups in the design, but a teapot too. The white china cups, saucers and teapot have been creatively stacked to produce an unusual – and definitely eye-catching – lamp base.
Although it’s teamed with a black shade and black cord, you could create a softer look with a paler lampshade
The tea time table lamp is available from I Love Retro on Bouf, for £129.
