This mermaid, casually lounging on the Moon with just the right touch of sassy attitude, is one of our top ten sellers. This is a "lithophane"; a thin translucent porcelain night light, made using a lost art from the 1800's. When lit from behind, the light shining through the different thicknesses of the carving causes a highly detailed image to appear in front, almost magically. As you see, the illuminated image is so detailed, that it has a totally photographic quality to it! In addition, the relief of the carving gives the image a 3 dimensional quality when seen in person. To make them, we start by carving the image in a translucent wax, with the wax lit from behind. We then take a plaster mold of this engraving, and we then cast a fine porcelain clay into this mold. We then kiln fire the porcelain to 2300 degrees F. to achieve it's translucency and durability. Lithophanes were invented in France in 1827, and were popular throughout Europe till the early 1900's. They mysteriously faded from popularity with the advent of electricity, which is ironic as they look way better with electric light than candles. We first started making them 32 years ago by reproducing the antique ones. We eventually learned how to engrave our own originals, and this has been our specialty ever since. Our lithophanes truly make for a beautiful and practical piece of art that you will use daily for year after year! ## Features - Kiln fired Porcelain: Handmade in the USA, approx. 5.5 in. tall and 3.5 in. wide - Unique: Different thicknesses in the porcelain cause the image to appear, it is not a photograph or print - Functional and Beautiful: Gives off a warm colored light, yet lights up a dark room perfectly - Great Gift: Such quality craftsmanship with incredible detail in the image that will impress anyone - Ships complete: Comes with 7W bulb and a brief history of the art in an attractive and sturdy box ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Style | Modern | | Brand | The Porcelain Garden | | Color | Cream | | Product Dimensions | 2"D x 3.5"W x 5.5"H | | Special Feature | energy saving | | Light Source Type | Incandescent | | Finish Type | Matte | | Material | Porcelain | | Lamp Type | plug-in light night | | Room Type | any room | | Shade Color | cream | | Shade Material | porcelain | | Base Material | E12 | | Recommended Uses For Product | INDOOR NIGHT LIGHT | | Power Source | plug in electric | | Shape | Rectangular | | Controller Type | electric | | Switch Type | Rocker | | Number of Light Sources | 1 | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Included Components | Bulb included | | Mounting Type | Tabletop | | Wattage | 7 watts | | Number of Items | 1 | | Lighting Method | omni | | Control Method | Touch | | Item Weight | 4 ounces | | Specific Uses For Product | Indoor use only | | Bulb Base | E12 | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Installation Type | plug-in | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Voltage | 120 Volts | | Brightness | 40 Lumen | | Manufacturer | The Porcelain Garden | | Part Number | NR114 | | Country of Origin | USA | | Item model number | NR114 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Collection | The Porcelain Garden Lithophane Night Lights | | Finish types | Matte | | Maximum Compatible Wattage | 7 Watts | | Special Features | energy saving | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Certification | UL listed base | | Wattage | 7 Watts | | Color Temperature | 2700 Kelvin | ## Images ![Mermaid and The Moon Translucent Porcelain Lithophane Nightlight - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61hdzaW1SAL.jpg) ![Mermaid and The Moon Translucent Porcelain Lithophane Nightlight - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71W-fk2HbOL.jpg) ![Mermaid and The Moon Translucent Porcelain Lithophane Nightlight - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51hQ0F11N+L.jpg) ![Mermaid and The Moon Translucent Porcelain Lithophane Nightlight - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51KGqjWfbQL.jpg) ![Mermaid and The Moon Translucent Porcelain Lithophane Nightlight - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sWx8AYqxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars These are very beautiful *by C***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2022* The only thing about these, is that they are super fragile. Don’t put them anywhere where they will likely have contact with anything. I am staying in an Airbnb for 3 months and there was one at the top of the stairs and my leg hit it and it broke. So I bought them a new one and while they are very pretty, I thought they were a bit pricey for a night light. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Light! *by G***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2023* Bought for my daughter in-law, for Christmas! What a ABSOLUTELY, BEAUTIFUL, night light! I bought one for myself! That should tell you, everything you need to know! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievably Beautiful Porcelain Nightlight *by H***� on Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2020* Exceptional high quality porcelain nightlight. Daughter LOVES mermaids so I had to give this nightlight a try. I plugged it in at night and was blown away by the beautiful details and the glow behind the mermaid.
