Lester Breininger Redware Art Pottery Grease or Fat Hand Lamp Pennsylvania

Hold a tiny hand lamp

This Lester Breininger redware art pottery grease or fat hand lamp gives you a compact piece, about palm-size, with a warm earthen body and a red slip finish. The shape feels plain in the best way, with a small reservoir and handle made for easy lifting.

See the Pennsylvania folk touch

You get the look of studio-made pottery, fired with a mottled surface that lets the clay show through. It fits right on a shelf, desk, or mantel when you want one object to carry the room without taking much space.

Use it as a display piece

If you collect Pennsylvania redware or early-style lighting forms, this one belongs close at hand. The surface has that soft matte feel collectors notice, and the simple shape makes it easy to place beside other handmade pottery or on its own.
