Discovered on More Ways to Waste Time: mid-century modern stoneware lamps from Lotte Lamps, a small company that has been making lamps since 1957. The current owners produce the original product line, using the master molds created by Danish immigrants Lotte and Gunnar Bostlund, in a barn in Circleville, Ohio. The lamps are available in several different shapes and sizes and in 14 different glazes (ranging from eggplant to bone). Prices start at $125 for a 20-inch model and go up to $475 for a 37-inch tall model; shades are included and are available in white fiberglass or natural linen.
