5 out of 5 starsI love these sconces!!! The light is soft and beautiful but actually illuminates more because of the bottom opening. I received them very quickly and they came packaged so it was impossible for breakage.
Cinnamon responded on Sep 22, 2023
The stairwell looks stunning, especially with art in the middle of the sconces! Thank you for allowing our handcrafted lighting to be in your project!

5 out of 5 starsFrom inquiry to delivery, the experience of working with Cinnamon and the A19 team was an A+++. As interior designers, we like to align ourselves with vendors who pride themselves on quality products and excellent customer service. A19 delivered both. Cinnamon quickly responded to all questions asked, promptly sent us ceramic samples upon request, and sent detailed instructions we needed for electrician. The light and custom paint color applied was nothing short of perfect! Lights arrived quickly, each carefully wrapped and protected. We could not be happier with our scones and this purchasing experience. We WILL be buying again! Thank you A19 for exceptional customer service and your beautiful lights. We are beyond grateful! 🙏🏻

5 out of 5 starsThis sconce is going to be the perfect addition to my tiki bar! It is very well made and is exactly what I’d hoped for. Valerie and the A19 were super helpful in communications and helping me accommodate a particular non-standard light bulb that I wanted to use. I would love to add a photo but won’t have it installed for a few weeks.
Cinnamon responded on Sep 1, 2023
Thank you so much Camille for leaving us a review! My team and I can't wait to see this up and installed to your Tiki Bar! Installation instructions are included, but if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us! :)

5 out of 5 starsThese ceramic wall sconces are fantastically crafted and are absolutely beautiful. I love that it allows more light to come through on the upper and lower openings of the fixture. The merchant was helpful with all my questions and was very friendly. I received these sconces in a couple of days after ordering and they were packed quite well. Will be buying more fixtures from this merchant in the coming future.
Cinnamon responded on Aug 23, 2023
Thanks! Glad we were able to help you out Andres! :)

5 out of 5 starsThe lights are beautiful and exquisitely packaged – this really exceeded my expectations. I had ordered the up/down light and had initially expected there to be two sockets per fixture, but the one bulb provides really nice illumination. Great lighting fixture all around.
Cinnamon responded on Aug 15, 2023
Hello Mike! Thank you for leaving us a review! We always love exceeding our customer's expectations and having our sconce find their forever home :)

5 out of 5 starsThe light fixture is gorgeous and the customer service knocks it out of the park. The A19 team worked with me to troubleshoot a difficult application over the course of many weeks. They even provided a rough mock to help me visualize the light in my space. The response time was always super fast and shipping times also equally fast. They rushed out two additional fixtures to be here in time for my electrician to install. Thank you!!! Highly recommend.
Cinnamon responded on Aug 23, 2023
Super happy that we managed to work it out and allowing us to be a part of your project!! Thank you for leaving us a review we really appreciate it!

Cinnamon responded on Jul 27, 2023
Thank you so much Lindsey for leaving us a review! We are super happy that our handcrafted lighting made it to their forever home! You know where to contact us if you are ever in need of more lighting ;)

Michael on Jun 18, 2023
5 out of 5 starsLove these sconces so much! We had bought, and installed, 4 other sconces, and after living with them a bit, didn't care for them. Lots of packing up and returning. Our situation, the sconces are right next to the TV in our family room, so it's more that just something you pass by, It's hours of looking at them, and taking in the light output. These are great, in that there is not the glaring light, the effect of the light beams up and down looks really awesome, and they use the good old standard base bulbs, easily available. Lots of choices to play with, we ended up using 2700K, 75 watt equivalent, LED's. The quality is very nice. Such a great upgrade! They are large, may not be good fit for some spots. Cinnamon is awesome, we needed one with the slight modification, she took care of that no problem. Great customer service!

Michael, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review! My team and I are super happy and grateful that our sconces made it to their forever home!

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
YES WE CAN!
We LOVE being able to apply ANY color to our fixtures. It's our specialty. Just specify the brand and color and consider it done.
Custom sizes and shapes* are possible (best in large quantities). We can do onsie-twosie's but it's a lot of work (which means it can get expensive if you only want one of something). *We have A LOT of ceramic shapes. If you have something in mind that you don't see, please contact us. We may just have something that will work for you.
Custom cut-out design motifs are relatively easy for us. If you think you can carve a design into a pumpkin, we can probably cut your design into your choice of ceramic light fixtures.
Wholesale availability
YES! We sell wholesale to qualified* retailers and trade professionals. No job is too small or too large. *Contact us for wholesale pricing.
Care instructions
BISQUE:
Natural "bare bisque" (unpainted ceramic) fixtures can be cleaned by sanding with fine 150-grit sandpaper. Do not use liquid cleaners on the porous bisque surface.
FINISHES:
A19’s finishes are durable enough to hold up both indoors and out. The exterior surface can be dusted or wiped clean with a non-abrasive damp cloth or sponge.
EXTERIOR LOCATIONS:
To prevent water from reaching the electrical connections, apply a bead of silicone around the full perimeter of the fixture housing to seal it to the wall surface.
Gift wrapping and packaging
Please contact us for special gift wrapping or packaging requests. We're happy to help.
Is every fixture from A19 truly handmade in the United States?
YES! Every ceramic pendant and wall sconce is (and always has been) designed, molded, fired, sanded, finished, assembled and shipped from our Southern California studio.
What is A19?
A19 is a woman-owned and operated ceramic lighting artisan manufacturing company in Ontario, California. The technical name for the common household light bulb inspired our name, A19, but our business of making ceramic lighting is unique.
Lighting trivia: An “A" bulb has the classic Edison bulb shape (more like an upside down pair than the letter A). The number “19” refers to the size (nineteen eights of an inch in diameter).
We design the bulk of our light fixtures to accommodate a standard bulb, but our name also illustrates that Cinnamon, our President and founder, is a bit of a geek.
Why ceramic?
Ceramic lighting fixtures are versatile and very durable. Our bare
bisque fixtures are smooth and easy to paint allowing your
fixtures to be any color. Because ceramic is resistant to rust
and corrosion, A19’s ceramic wall sconces and pendants will
outlast comparable metal lighting fixtures. Ceramic is opaque
which conceals view of the bulb and eliminates harsh glare.
Ceramic is also a good insulator improving safety.
Can I paint my fixtures?
YES! If you would like to paint your fixtures, choose "Bare Bisque" for your finish. While bisque is beautiful and completely usable in its natural bare state, you may easily paint bisque with any latex or acrylic paint. No primer is necessary unless you are using an oil-based paint. Care and maintenance instructions are included with
each fixture.
