This is a very collectable lamp made by Peter Ellery at his Tremaen Studio Pottery in Newlyn, Cornwall, established in 1965. These pieces were made by him between 1967 and 1974.  

He produced large scale pieces, employing unconventional techniques in both construction and glazing. Sadlly, the recession of the early 1980s created increasing economic difficulties for the pottery and in 1988 Peter Ellery decided to close his wonderful pottery.

This lovely pebble-shaped lamp is called a Bowjey (or Bojea) lamp and it is one of the largest lamp bases that he made. It is 16 1/2 inches (41 cm)in height and 12 inches wide. It is nearly 6 kg in weight. 

My lamp has its original brass bulb holder - but has been recently rewired and earthed for safety. It is all ready to just plug in and light up! 

This particular example is a very early one having the impressed stamp above the cable aperture - this represents the Lanyon Quoit near Morvah in Cornwall. The lamp base is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. Due to its exceptional size and this attractive blue colouring it is particularly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts of retro Cornish studio pottery.

The lamps were the most popular and desirable items produced by the pottery. They remain highly decorative but, more importantly, functional.

Designs for lamp bases were sometimes produced in a range of sizes, colours or glazes. On occasions, two moulds were joined together to make a taller lamp base. The lamp bases were given names with cornish links like Lanyon, Jizal, Boscawen and Zennor.

My lamp does not have its original shade - as not many of the original hessian ones have survived. It is rare to find a Tremaen lamp with its original shade.

Due to its size and its exceptional weight, it will cost about £15 to post to you. This will be applied at the checkout stage of your order.
