Pair of Delft Imari table lamps by Jaap Heinen with new Japanese shades.

Meticulously hand-crafted by Amitābha Studio from a pair of Delft Imari vases by Jaap Heinen (Heinen Delfts Blauw), paired with bespoke navy-and-gold Japanese seigaiha drum lampshades. This matching pair of Delft Imari table lamps began life as hand-painted ceramic vases made in the Netherlands circa 1980s. The elegant, flared beaker silhouette narrows at the waist and opens at the rim—a graceful profile that reads tall yet refined on a console or bedside. Each vase is decorated in the classic Pijnacker (Delft-Imari) palette of deep cobalt, iron-red, and luminous gilt on a warm cream ground, with blooming florals and geometric panels framed by leafy reserves. The artistry is unmistakably hand-rendered, giving character while remaining visually identical for symmetrical placement. Amitābha Studio completes the conversion with precision-cut solid brass fittings, hand-finished details, and braided navy textile cords. The custom drum shades are tailored in a Japanese block-print featuring the seigaiha (blue-ocean-wave) motif in navy and metallic gold; the pattern echoes the gilt accents and indigo washes below. Finished with couture trim, the lamps cast a soft, even glow that flatters both traditional and contemporary interiors. As Pijnacker Delft lamps by Jaap Heinen, they create a thoughtful dialogue between Dutch craftsmanship and Japanese influence, brought current by Amitābha Studio’s bespoke conversion. ABOUT JAAP HEINEN / HEINEN DELFTS BLAUW Dutch ceramicist Jaap Heinen is associated with Heinen Delfts Blauw, the family-run studio founded in 1975 that helped revive hand-painted Delftware in the late 20th century. The workshop is known for preserving traditional brush techniques while reinterpreting historic Dutch and Japanese motifs—especially the Imari-influenced Pijnacker palette of cobalt, iron-red, and gilt. Pieces from Heinen Delfts Blauw remain collectible for their craftsmanship and for their role in the contemporary continuation of Delftware making.
