The Ginger Jar Lamp Co.

The Ginger Jar Lamp Co. We pair vintage Ginger Jars with artisan lamp shades to create contemporary, limited-edition lighting. I founded The Ginger Jar Lamp Co.

We also offer curated Chinoiserie treasures, including blue & white ceramics & tablewares, each with their own unique design & auspicious meaning. in 2016, after a 'light bulb' moment during a trip to China with girlfriends. I discovered piles of dusty ginger jars at an antiques market and decided to make one into a lamp - the rest is history. As an interiors enthusiast, I am passionate about uniq

ue, authentic, hand-made ceramics & fabrics. I am, of course, also a huge fan of ever-elegant blue & white. I was thrilled to discover the unique history of the humble ginger jar, from its ancient origins as a vessel for exporting spices to the West, to becoming much sought-after decorative items in their own right. The vintage jars we source are still hand-made, following age-old traditions, and feature auspicious symbols. I love to create contemporary classics from these pieces by combining them with vibrant artisan lamp shades - resulting in lamps that are limited-edition and truly unique. Being a colour-lover, I adore bold, bright fabrics, and enjoy hand-selecting designs for our small-batch collections. I have always furnished my own home with pieces that have that 'wow' factor - one-of-a-kind treasures that are made to last and tell the story of who I am and where I've been. I like to think our lamps do the same - often bought as a gift, a momento or to celebrate life's special milestones. My business is in keeping with a quote that is dear to my heart: "Create the things you wish existed" (And so, I did!). I really hope you love this carefully-curated collection as much as I have loved creating it. Best wishes,

Kate

🌴Nothing transports us to tropical climes like a palm motif. After renovating our home, I realised palms featured in every room - from brass hooks (for coats & keys), to textiles, art work & wall sconces.

Our Palm & Polkadot block-print channels a timeless, effortless style which is playful, yet right at home in a more formal setting too. Paired here with our Hunan Jade lamp base🌴

Hoping to be back up soon!

🪷The lotus flower represents feminine beauty & harmony. It also symbolises purity, as it blooms out of the mud but remains clean.  

Our Vine & Lotus ginger jar base is one of our enduring favourites, combined here with a double dose of this auspicious floral - our Lotus block-printed shade🪷

✨Happy Birthday to Us! The Ginger Jar Lamp Co. turns 10 this month.

💡It’s hard to believe a whole decade has passed since my ‘light bulb’ moment at an antiques market in China.

🌍We have proudly been lighting up homes around the world ever since.

🥂To celebrate, we are offering 10% off all orders (over HK$1000) for the rest of May.

🙏🏻We are so grateful to have built a business which serves customers around the world - from HK to Hawaii, Sydney to Samui!

🙋🏻‍♀️ I will be sharing more over the course of the month to mark our special milestone, but in the meantime, a huge THANK YOU to our customers, suppliers & partners who have made it all possible.
