I love anything having to do with teapots and teacups so when I saw this on Country Living - a teapot lamp using what you have, teacups, teapots and saucers I thought it was so cute. You just need to get a lamp kit. Fill the top cup, a demitasse (hidden under the shade, right), with Amaco self-hardening clay. While the clay was still wet, press in a socket-and-cord unit from Ikea and a harp from Lowe's, an inch deep. Then let the clay harden for 24 hours. Glue the remaining elements together with a thin line of Super Glue gel, letting each piece dry for a minute before adhering the next. He waited a day for the lamp to set, then screwed a standard shade to the harp's finial. The wiring of this whimsical creation doesn't require any drilling, because the cord runs behind the lamp instead of through it. Keep the cord flush against the base with a few pieces of electrical tape, and then position the lamp against a wall.
