Using your Rockport cobalt blue ceramic lamp is easy. First, find a stable surface to place the lamp on. Make sure to use a medium base bulb with a maximum wattage of 100. The 3-way switch allows you to adjust the light to your preferred brightness. Simply turn the switch to cycle through the different settings. When it comes to maintenance, gently dust the ceramic body and linen shade regularly to keep them looking their best. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the lamp. If the shade gets dirty, you can spot clean it with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Be careful when moving the lamp to prevent any damage to the delicate ceramic and the shade. With proper care, your lamp will provide beautiful illumination for years to come.
