Vintage Clear Glass Kerosene/Oil Lamp with Embossed Base and Chimney

This is a vintage kerosene or oil lamp, characterized by its clear glass construction and traditional design. The lamp consists of two main parts: a glass fuel reservoir (fount) and a glass chimney. The fount is octagonal in shape with prominent embossed designs on each of its eight panels. While the specific imagery is not entirely clear from the provided image, it appears to feature circular motifs, possibly with some floral or scrollwork elements within them, indicative of a classic or early American style. The glass of the fount is thick and appears to be in good condition, without visible chips or cracks. The fount is topped with a brass burner mechanism, which includes a wick and a winder for adjusting the flame. The brass shows some signs of age, consistent with natural patina and light oxidation. A clear glass chimney, cylindrical in its lower half and tapering upwards to a wider mouth, rests atop the burner. The chimney exhibits noticeable cloudiness and residue, likely from prolonged use of kerosene or oil and lack of recent cleaning, indicating its functional history. A purple and white tag with the numbers '253457' is tied to the lamp, likely an inventory or sale tag. The overall condition suggests a used but well-preserved antique or vintage item. The lamp's construction points to a utility item from an era before widespread electricity, likely late 19th to early 20th century. The quality is typical for mass-produced glass lamps of that period, designed for practical use rather than high-end decorative appeal.
