What kind of bulb does the Delia take?

It is a table lamp with a single socket and a scalloped shade. Check the socket type and maximum wattage on the lamp before choosing a bulb, and pick a warm bulb to keep the porcelain pattern looking soft.

Is the shade included?

Yes. The lamp comes with a scalloped shade in denim, oyster linen or natural rattan, so the base and shade are sold as one piece.

Will the blue pattern match my room?

The inky blue glaze is a strong accent, so it pairs most easily with white, cream, wood and other blues. In a neutral or minimalist room it will read as the focal point rather than blending in.

Where does this lamp work best?

It suits a bedside table, a hallway console or a reading corner where a decorative lamp is wanted. The rounded ceramic base is heavier than a slim metal lamp, so give it a sturdy surface.

How does it compare with a plain ceramic lamp?

The Delia trades the plain glaze of a standard ceramic lamp for a detailed porcelain pattern and a scalloped shade. That makes it more decorative and less flexible to restyle than a solid-color base.
