Originally created as decorative vessels in the early 20th century — and possibly earlier — these jars were later converted into lamps, preserving their timeless form and luminous presence. Mercury glass jars of this type were historically prized for their ability to reflect and amplify light and were often used as decorative objects, apothecary containers, or ceremonial vessels before being adapted for modern interiors.

Each lamp features a classic jar-shaped body with a hand-silvered interior that produces a soft, mirrored glow. The elegant, cylindrical silhouette is complemented by polished nickel dual-socket hardware with pull chains, and the substantial scale makes them ideal as statement pieces on a console, sideboard, or bedside tables.

Perfect for Hollywood Regency, transitional, or minimalist interiors, these lamps bring a sophisticated mix of vintage character and mid-century modern appeal. See less
