The past few months have given all of us an abundance of time to scrutinize every corner of our home.

We had made do with less than inspiring mass manufactured pieces as our bedside tables, dining tables, and even settled for chairs that were less than comfortable but were fine if we only spent a few hours on it each day. The home is an intimate space, and many realized that it was time to give their interior decorations and home furnishings a facelift.

If you are seeking out items that have been handcrafted with care and attention, and the Notary Lighting Collection from Portland-based Notary Ceramics falls squarely in this category with its elegant and timeless designs.

NOTARY LIGHTING COLLECTION

The Notary Lighting Collection is a series of one-of-a-kind table lamps, hand thrown on a potters wheel in Portland, Oregon by Notary owner Sarah Van Raden. Wired by a certified electrician using the finest components, and included with an un-lacquered brass socket, coated cotton twisted cording, an antique style plug, and a custom handmade pleated linen shade custom made in Denmark.

Each detail was carefully considered and each piece is an investment in an heirloom-quality piece that is as much celebrated for its form as it is useful for its function. This lighting collection is both timeless as well as modern, and just a little bit rustic.

While the lamps in the collection feature gentle curves and are finished in a soft matte white colour, others have a footed design in a short and stout whimsical shape. For those who are looking for colour variation and depth, look for pieces that are handmade from their chocolate stoneware and glazed in the brand’s signature matte gray.

Each lamp is a unique piece of art that instantly add character to your home and truly personalize your living space. The line ranges from $550 to $700, and is available in a range of styles and shade colors. To find out more, visit the Notary Ceramics website.
