Miniature Clear Pressed Glass Oil Lamp

This is a small-scale, vintage-style miniature oil or kerosene lamp, likely dating from the mid-20th century. The lamp features a clear pressed glass font (reservoir) with a squat, circular base decorated with molded horizontal ribbing and a rayed pattern on the top surface. The burner assembly is made of brass-toned metal, featuring a perforated gallery and a small thumbwheel for adjusting the wick. A white cotton wick is visible submerged in the reservoir. Resting on the burner is a clear glass chimney with a distinctive spiral-optic or swirled ribbing pattern, flaring slightly at the center before tapering to a straight top rim. The overall height appears to be approximately 6 to 8 inches. Condition is fair to good, with significant tarnish and patina visible on the metal burner components. The glass appears intact without large chips, though there is some accumulated grime inside the chimney and reservoir, and some red residue at the neck of the font. Items of this size were often used as nightlights or for decorative display.
