There’s something about porcelain. Perhaps it’s the quality, or the timelessness, or the way the light can shine through it to cast a warm glow. It’s no wonder porcelain pendant lights are growing in popularity, punctuating homes with their fine allure. From the sculptural and the ornate to the industrial and the modern, there isn’t a style that porcelain can’t enhance! Below you’ll find 20 porcelain pendant light options that celebrate the beauty of illuminating design…

Sleek and Modern

We begin with sleek finds that enhance modern spaces. Make a big statement with a porcelain egg! This translucent porcelain pendant lamp comes from Etsy shop lightexture. While it appears white when not illuminated, you can see in the photo below that its amber glow is sure to be the focal point of the room when darkness falls:

For a petite take on this pendant light, opt for Fuse Small, or better yet, purchase lamps in both sizes and hang them in a group. We’re loving the use of orange and grey cording:
