Newly wired for U.S. use; international plug customization available at no charge. Height includes the shade.

The base began as a mid-twentieth-century vase from Royal Tichelaar Makkum, recognized as the oldest company in the Netherlands, working from the Frisian town of Makkum where a brickworks on the site is documented as early as 1572.
