Litophane

An original lamp, litophane, is an embossment that, when lit through by the candlelight, creates a live image with unmistakable atmosphere. Litophane has always been a popular decoration style in the houses of noblemen and other wealthy people. Converting landscape, plant or figural motifs to the porcelain embossment is a very difficult handiwork, though. Atelier JM Lesov (Thun Studio) prepared a luxurious series for the lovers of this fragile beauty, with the motifs of flora, fauna and the nicest places in the Czech Republic. The designer is the academic sculptor Jiří Laštovička.
