The Light 'Source' is an elegant design inspired by winter sunbeams shining through leafless tree branches. Relief-carved white clay is glazed with Yingging translucent glaze, making a smooth, shiny finished surface after it is fired.
Illuminating the lamp breathes symbolic life into the form and lights the tree carvings. The pleasant glowing form, intended as mood or soft lighting, is the creation of Ying Deng and Jun Zhou of China.
Implications - The Light 'Source' is, as expected, best viewed in dark environments where the solitary glow of the lamp can exude its wonderfully warm light onto all of its delighted spectators.
