DescriptionBrick red lamp. Flattened lentoid shape with crude vertical handle. Large center oil hole with raised rim. No nozzle. Wick hole is in one end of lamp with a raised lip. Upper surface is decorated with over all pattern of curving lines and dots in relief. Two parallel ridges go from each side of the wick hole around the oil hole, there the outside lines continue straight on either side of the handle, thus defining a non - functional channel. Ridge following the shape of the lamp outlines the base.On View
