A Porcelain Work of Art.

This week we feature a really interesting lamp. At first glance it doesn't look to sophisticated until you realize that this puppy lamp is made of translucent porcelain.

In addition, the eyes are made of glass. The best part however, is the perfume chamber behind the neck of the dog where the lamp heats the liquid, diffusing the perfume into the air.

The perfume will be based on Isopropyl alcohol and will therefore be highly flammable. Careful! The originality of this piece is displayed when you look carefully and find tiny pin sized holes in the porcelain that occurred during the firing process.

In addition, the ensure that the porcelain will not crack from the heat, notice the series of holes in the top of his head! A great specimen.

A Dog Lamp for a study!

As soon as I saw this beautiful lamp, the image came to me of the old days, in a nice warm firelit study, with a sheaf of books...and shotguns nearby for hunting!

This fits in very well with that sort of ambiance given the fact that the dog in question is a pointer. Absolutely lovely in conception, the anatomy of the dog is laid out in marvelous detail. The dark wood gives it a lush, serious expression and the pose is superbly executed.

One of the nicest Dog lamps I have seen. Most lamps don't really come close to depicting all the details of the dog, but this one obviously had a dog lover for a maker.

Dog Lamps - Dancing Dogs

This week's dog lamp is unusual. Instead of depicting a scene from real dog life, it tries to project a human situation onto our furry friends.

Of course, this doesn't mean it's not lovely. The two dogs seem to be dancing together, or even taking their vows to swear fidelity to one another! A very pretty scene.

Unfortunately, the website doesn't give many details about this particular dog lamp, like the material it's made of. If I had to guess however, I would say it's porcelain. The price tag is a bit steep at $260. Maybe it has some other significance that we're not aware of.

But nonetheless, nice to look at, and a funny addition to a dog lover's home decor.

Silver Dog Lamp - Mother with pup

This lovely silver dog lamps shows a Whippet Mother who looks as if she's chastising her pup. The lamp is large - over 2 feet, though the actual dog figurines are just about a foot tall.

It's expensive though. Selling for just shy of $1500, it's not something that anyone can just pick off the shelf apart from collectors. It is rather splendid though.

The Whippet is a breed of dog belonging to the sighthound group. They have very little fur, and are great as apartment dogs. Interestingly, the males are as unaggressive as the females.
