Lotus Flower Porcelain Night LightA curved porcelain lithophane shields the night light bulb and creates this beautiful image. Lithophanes are a 19th Century invention, in which an image is carefully carved into wax, then a mold is made from that wax using plaster, similarly to how jewelry is often cast from a wax carving. Porcelain is then poured into the mold, then fired in a kiln, creating a translucent shield with incredible depth and clarity, with the durability of porcelain.
