This is an early 1800 original free blown whale oil lace maker's lamp with pontil scar on bottom and crude applied glass handle! Round bulbous font with 1 1/8 across lip with smooth opening..... Flared out oil drip saucer under the font.... Flared base with pontil scar on bottom... Hollow stem with crude drippy glass applied handle with protruding grip knob.....
Excellent attic nice condition with no chips or damage. This style of whale oil lamp was called a "lace makers" lamp and is very hard to find with the applied glass handle!
