Description
This charming vintage advertising style shop display oil lamp features a distinctive crackle glaze ceramic body and a copper well. It comes equipped with a 'Griffin' brand flue and stands on a solid brass base with felt underneath.
The ceramic body showcases charming blue and white advertisements. One panel vividly displays various toys and games, including "HOBBY-HORSES, TOPS, SHUTTLECOCKS AND DOLLS, DANCING JACKS, DRUMS, TRUMPETS, Bats and Balls." The opposite panel features a detailed advertisement for "DEMIJOHN'S CHOICE LIQUORS. Drawn from the Wood," making this a unique and appealing piece of advertising memorabilia and period decor.
Condition:
- This is a vintage, used item in good condition overall, retaining its antique style.
- There is some minor piercing to the felt underneath the base and a bit of staining, consistent with age.
- Vert-de-gris tarnishing is present on the brass base and under the cap; this natural patina has been intentionally left unpolished to preserve its vintage character.
- The lower wheel for adjusting the wick currently does not grip the wick tightly, which may require attention if the lamp is intended for functional use.
- No chips or cracks are noted, but a few natural bubbles are visible in the glass flue, typical for vintage pieces.
Please examine all attached photos closely and utilize the zoom function to fully appreciate the condition and intricate details.
