Ceramic Nightstand Lamps
Six ceramic table lamps for the nightstand, every one with a glazed ceramic body, from $60.99 to $164.99. Ceramic is the material to pick when you want the lamp to feel like an object rather than a fixture: it has weight, the glaze catches the light, and it does not scratch the way a painted metal base does. Between them they cover white, black, pink, green, yellow, orange, blue, burgundy and celadon green, with linen, pleated fabric and frosted glass shades.
What a glazed ceramic base gives you
Weight and depth of color. A glaze is fired glass over clay, so the color sits under a hard surface rather than on top of it, and it stays that way after years of being knocked by a phone charger.
The practical benefit on a nightstand is stability. The Celadon is 2.2 kilograms and the Milkshake 800 grams, so neither goes over when you reach past it in the dark.

The six, and how they differ
Pebble Stack at $60.99, a stacked pebble base with a frosted opal glass globe, in orange, blue or grey. Vessel Cordless at $84.99, the only cordless ceramic here, touch dimmable with a tapered linen shade. Milkshake at $96.99, a cone base with a pleated fabric shade, about 11.8 inches. Petal Dome at $113.99, a scalloped frosted glass dome on a gold-finish neck.
Celadon Carved Gourd at $137.99, carved glazed ceramic on a gold-finish foot, 15.0 inches tall and 9.8 inches wide, with a pleated shade. Aria White at $164.99, the plainest of them, a glossy base with a linen empire shade and a push-button dimmer.

Fabric shade or glass shade
A fabric shade throws light down onto the nightstand and up at the ceiling, which is the shape you want for reading. A glass shade glows all over and lights the room more evenly, which is better as a background light than as a reading light.

Which bulb these take
The Aria, Celadon and Milkshake take a standard E26 bulb that is not included, so you choose the brightness and the color temperature. Pick 2700K warm white for a bedroom.
The Petal Dome is USB powered with an integrated LED and ships with a US adapter. The Vessel is rechargeable with five color temperatures from 2700K to 6000K. The Pebble Stack is a mains lamp and its bulb is not included.

Color, and what actually goes in a bedroom
Brown and white make up well over half of real US bedroom designs, and the styles people actually live with are contemporary, traditional and transitional rather than the bolder looks that do well on a mood board.
That is an argument for the white, cream and celadon options if this is the lamp you want to keep. The orange, yellow and pink glazes are the ones to buy when the lamp is meant to be the thing you notice.

Which ceramic lamp is cordless?
The Vessel Cordless Ceramic at $84.99. It recharges over USB, dims by touch and by remote, and runs from 2700K to 6000K.
Do they come with a bulb?

How heavy are they?
Where the supplier has confirmed a weight: Milkshake 800 grams, Pebble Stack 800 grams, Petal Dome 1 kilogram, Celadon 2.2 kilograms.
Can ceramic chip?
A hard knock on an edge can chip any glaze. Dust with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, and the finish holds up for years of normal use.
