Product Details

This charming miniature oil lamp features a vibrant blue satin glass base with a subtle embossed thumbprint or coin spot pattern. The piece is crowned with a clear glass fluted chimney that exhibits an elegant ruffled rim. The brass-toned metal hardware includes a functional wick adjuster knob, typical of late 19th to early 20th-century style kerosene lamps. This particular size is often referred to as a 'night lamp' or 'finger lamp,' designed for portability and soft lighting. The frosted finish on the blue glass provides a soft, diffused glow when lit, though it is currently highly sought after as a decorative shelf piece or part of a glass collection. The construction suggests a mid-century reproduction of a Victorian classic, maintaining the aesthetic charm of the era with more modern manufacturing consistency. It is in excellent condition with no visible chips or cracks in the glass and only minor patina on the metal components.
