A flowerpot lamp is a type of lamp that is typically made from a flowerpot and a light bulb. It was popularized in the 1970s, but can be traced back to the 1800s.
The first known reference to this type of lamp was in 1857, when it was noted as an "old-fashioned" form of lighting.
In the 1870s, it became popular among poor families as well as with people who wanted to create an atmosphere of homeyness or pastoralism in their homes.
