Pottery has been used for lighting and lamps for thousands of years. One of the earliest surviving pieces was excavated from Nal in the Indus Valley, located in present day Pakistan, and dates to around 2500 BC. The discovery of terracotta and other lightweight sculpting materials led to the development of more ornate designs, as functionality and practicality gave way to artistic inspiration and religious worship. It was also useful to keep the flame of a simple candle from being extinguished, or to keep the fire from spreading by accident. In modern times, many designs and shapes remain virtually unchanged from when they were developed in antiquity.
This particular piece has been sculpted specifically for electric use, with a broad base and a hole for the cord to fit inside.
