A Restored pottery lamp with bakelite and Edison bulb looks great with the larger Plum spiral type globe. This a metalic glaze 70’s type lamp and we fitted a switched bakelite lampholder and rewired in 3 core brown braided flex.

These bulbs tend to go a gold color over time as the tungsten vaporizes on the interior of the globe giving it an interesting look when turned off. Not sure if we can find a lampshade that would work on this or even if it is necessary. Good example of what one can do without a fancy lampshade on an otherwise ordinary looking lampbase. To install one of our E27 lampholders on a lampbase you will need a threaded rod and nut to secure the fitting and to stop the cable being pulled out we connected a cord grip inside the fitting.
