Charlie
West Pottery & Lamps is proud to offer quality handmade lamps.
Each lamp begins as a piece of clay. Charlie then hand turns each piece
on the wheel. Once the piece has been fired, glazed and refired in
the kiln, it is then ready to be made into a beautiful, one of a kind lamp.
Size and shape will vary on each piece since they are hand made.
If a pair of lamps is needed, they should
be ordered as a pair for them to match. All styles are available
in all glazes unless noted. Kiln atmosphere affects the outcome of
the final glaze, so the color may vary slightly from firing to firing,
however, they will be similar. |
That
is the beauty of handmade pottery, each piece is unique. The lamps
are available with or without shades. The shades offered are cream
hardback linen shades in three styles.
Although these lamps are available at finer
stores throughout the United States, they are not readily available because
Charlie still makes each and every piece himself. Charlie has a little
help from his wife Honey, who helps with office work, some glazing and
general day to day tasks. |
Our
glazes are another work of art by themselves. Charlie is always experimenting
to keep the colors exciting and unique. Check the website from time
to time to see the newest glazes and styles available.
Charlie has been a potter since 1986 when
he got his start as an after school employee at Sims Pottery in Gillsville,
GA. His work has been featured in national magazines from Southern Living
to Veranda. To find a retailer nearest you or to become a retailer,
