A molten bead of glass is blown into a stencilled brass casing to create these lanterns. The pressure causes the glass, which is is still in a semi fluid state, to protrude slightly through the cutouts in the casing to create an interesting and attractive profile.

THE GOLDEN HORN LAMP

Decorated with a pattern of stars and crescents, this is the quintessential Turkish lantern.

Many colours of glass available, each creates a different ambience, but the richness of ruby red or lucious orange works for me...

The lantern is large enough to be electrified. Click on the photo to see the effect with turquoise glass.

Size: 25 cms high, 15 cms wide

THE SULTANAHMET LAMP

More stars and crescents, but with a distinctively different shape, this lantern is also available in blue, green, turquoise or lilac glass, and is just large enough to be electrified.

Size: 22 cms high, 17 cms wide

THE TURKISH TURBAN

Looking a little like a pinecone, this lantern makes a delicious effect when lit. The shape recalls the magnificent turbans of a bygone era of Constaninople's history.

Easily large enough to be electrified, and available in a choice of rich glass colour and small or large diamond cutouts.

Size: 24 cms high, 18 cms wide

THE MARMARA LANTERN

A simple open goblet shape, decorated with a trellis of diamond shaped cutouts and a sprinkling of stars.

This is a relatively small lantern and is best lit with a candle or tealight. Available in all glass colours.

Size: 20 cms high, 14 cms wide

THE ROXELANA LAMP

This lovely little lantern is also best lit with a candle or tealight. All the charm of the Golden Horn or Sultanahmet, but on a smaller scale.

Lilac glass is shown on the left, but a choice of colours is available.

TINY TURKISH LAMP

Even smaller than Roxelana, a tealight will just fit into this tiny lamp.

Amber glass is shown on the left, but a choice of colours is available.
