The purpose of a ceramic lamp is for decoration. They tend to be luxurious looking and can give a nice elegant touch to the room. They are a bit more expensive than regular lamps but if what you are looking is for something different and classy then a ceramic lamp is the way to go.

What is the importance of lamp shades?

First, lamp shades diffuse the light. Instead of looking at a bright bare lightbulb, you look at a much larger glowing shade that that bulb illuminates. The shade cuts out some of the light, but the light that you're left with is far more pleasant to look at.A lamp without a shade casts sharp-edged shadows. If your lamp has a shade, the shadows it casts tend to be soft edged. Again, this makes things look better.Second, in the old days when lamps that used open flames, a lamp shade would cut down on drafts that could make the flame flicker or even blow it out. A glass "lamp chimney" worked even better, but those were expensive compared to a paper and wire shade.
