Vintage-Style Glass Hurricane Oil Lamp

This item is a decorative clear glass oil lamp, standing approximately 7 to 10 inches tall. It features a bulbous, diamond-patterned (hobnail or quilted) glass reservoir base designed to hold kerosene or paraffin oil. The central burner assembly is constructed of gold-toned polished brass, featuring a manual wick-adjustment knob and a four-pronged gallery to secure the chimney. The glass chimney itself exhibits a classic hurricane silhouette, tapering from a wide bulbous midsection to a narrow, cylindrical top. The glass is transparent and devoid of heavy tinting, allowing for maximum light output. Though mimicking a late 19th-century Victorian aesthetic, the high clarity of the glass and polished finish of the metal suggests a modern reproduction intended for home decor or emergency lighting. The item appears in excellent, near-mint condition with no visible cracks, chips, or charring on the wick. The craftsmanship shows mass-market production quality with clean machine-molded glass patterns and standardized metal fittings. It captures the rustic, nostalgic ambiance characteristic of early indoor lighting fixtures while providing functional utility via its internal cotton wick.
