About us

White Rabbit England is the brain child of sisters Charlotte and Victoria who set out to recreate the magical lamps they loved as children.

As little girls in the Nineteen Seventies, Victoria and her sister Charlotte slept with an enchanting pottery toadstool light beside their beds. Hand painted in earthenware and decorated with dancing elves and fairies, it was the magical centrepiece of their bedside table, filling their bedroom with a gentle, reassuring light.

Four years ago, now grown up, married and with young children of their own, the sisters set out to find a modern replacement for the light they had known and loved as children. When they couldn’t find anything suitable, they resolved to make their own. But not just for themselves; for children all over Britain too. And so White Rabbit England was born.

Victoria and Charlotte were spurred on by research by a leading British electrical company which stated that as many as 70% of young children today need some form of low light source to help them sleep at night. Working closely with expert craftsmen in the Staffordshire Potteries, the pair produced designs for two toadstool lamps, one named ‘Dewdrop’, and another named ‘Bramble’.

These unique nightlights are made in earthenware and hand-painted in delicate, natural colours with woodland fairy scenes just like the originals that inspired them. When lit up, Dewdrop and Bramble are the perfect to give a child sweet dreams. Unashamedly traditional, yet with a very real function too, Dewdrop and Bramble are beautiful additions to any child’s bedroom that may even help give parents a quiet night too.
