This beautiful Fairy is from an original image by David Delamare. We make a number of lithophanes with his Fairies and Mermaids. The subtle beauty of his work, the shading, the composition, everything about his art makes them so perfect.
Discover the enchanting beauty of this lithophane plug-in night light, a heartfelt homage to a nearly lost art from the 1800s. Each delicate porcelain panel is lovingly handcrafted to capture light in a way that brings an image to life with extraordinary depth and warmth. When gently illuminated from behind, the subtle variations in the hand-engraved porcelain create a softly glowing scene that feels almost magical-so detailed and radiant, it looks like a photograph captured in light.
The process is as thoughtful as the finished piece: starting with a careful hand carving in translucent wax, moving to a plaster mold, and then casting in fine porcelain clay. The piece is fired at a high temperature to unlock its signature translucent glow and resilience, making each night light a lasting treasure.
Born in France in 1827, lithophanes once graced many European homes, their gentle glow a familiar comfort before fading away with the arrival of electric light. Today, this delicate craft has been lovingly revived, preserving its quiet beauty and timeless charm.
Perfect for adding a warm, personal touch to your home or gifting a piece of history and artistry to someone special, these lithophane night lights bring both light and heart to any space, creating a glow you'll cherish night after night, year after year.
