Vintage Amber Glass Miniature Oil Lamp – Traditional Concentric Ring Tiers, Brass Burner & Matching Hurricane Shade Miniature glass oil lamp / kerosene lamp. Design/Subject: Classic traditional style featuring a matching transparent amber glass font base and hurricane chimney shade. The squat, rounded font base is molded with clean concentric ring tiers, while the glass chimney shade features a classic pinched neck and a smooth top rim. Outfitted with a simple brass collar and a matching turn-knob wick raiser burner with a small wire-wheel handle. Material: Transparent amber/yellow-tinted glass and brass components. Features: A wonderful example of classic, utilitarian mid-century miniature lighting. The warm, golden-amber glass catches ambient light beautifully, offering a timeless glow that pairs perfectly with farmhouse, rustic, or traditional vintage collections. Condition: Good vintage/pre-owned condition. Both the amber glass font base and the matching chimney shade are intact and free of major structural cracks or large chips, showing only typical light surface wear and minor manufacturing roughness on the hidden bottom edge of the shade. The brass burner shows a light natural aged patina and minor surface tarnish in the crevices. The internal fabric wick is present; the mechanical raiser function turns smoothly but the unit is otherwise untested for burning functionality. Display: Low-profile, highly stable flat-bottomed circular base. A lovely addition to any miniature oil lamp collection, colored glass showcase, or antique shelf display.
