The lithopane ("Vision in Stone") was first invented in France in 1827. A lithopane is a porcelain engraving which virtually comes alive when illuminated from behind. These detailed, illuminated art works are now made in the United States, and in their most popular form as a plug-in night light, they are the perfect gift because they are reasonably priced and nicely gift boxed with history and care literature. We also carry Victorian stand night lights.
These delicately detailed porcelain night lights are a great addition to any room in the house. Use them in the hall or by the stairs as a safety light at night. Use one in a child's room to add a soft glow. Light up the bathroom, or use one in the kitchen as a beacon to your midnight snack. Some select designs are further enhanced with the addition of color.
Unlike other websites who sell a variety of products, our online store exclusively offers porcelain night lights.
