JERUSALEM LAMPS; The main characteristic of these lamps is the black clay of which they are made. These lamps were fired without OXYGEN, thus producing the black colour; they are well-made and are of high quality. This special type is found mainly in Judaea, especially in the vicinity of Jerusalem, The few analyses of the materials used to make these lamps reveal that they were manufactured in the area of Jerusalem.

 The original item Found in the Judean desert southern Jerusalem, Israel

This unique handmade product is manufactured in the very same old techniques as our Holy Land ancestors used ages ago. It contains the exact same ancient mix of materials and have similar look and feel.

All of items I offer are “aged” (replicas) of lamps and vases, originally excavated at the Herodion & Juedah and other archeological sites in the Holy Land. "Aged" format means the lamp looks as if it has been buried for 2000 years, in fact, one of the most fantastic facts about these items is that they are being handmade manufactured in the same ancient techniques as used millenniums ago and from the same mix of terracotta, clay, mud, etc.
