Encrusted Terracotta Octopus Pot Lamp

These lamps are stunning sculptural treasures from the sea. 
 
For centuries, fishermen throughout the Mediterranean and Iberian peninsula have been using teracotta pots to trap Octopi. The pots are placed on the seabed close to the shore and checked daily in the hope of an octopus. 
 
Each pot we have for sale will have been used for decades or more, meaning that they are encrusted with layers of beautiful sea life. 
 
Oyster shells create beautiful pearl iridescence and coral brings a lovely pink. 
 
Brought to us by Laurence McGovern, his team thoroughly clean these pots and mount them on ebonised hardwood bases, with brass fittings to convert them into lamps. 
 
As fishing methods change, these pots are getting more and more difficult to find and are a beautiful rarity to have in your home. 
 
Upon request, these lamps can be wired for different functions or repurposed for your decorative needs.
