Description

This is a small Georgian, incised twist, oil lamp (often sometimes erroneously called a lacemaker's lamp) dating from the middle of the 18th century, c1770.
The lamp is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the foot consistent with some 250 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the foot which is nicely striated as is the bowl.
The lamp has a flattened ovoid reservoir measuring 7.2 cm (2.9 inches) in diameter at its fullest and measuring 3 cm (1.2 inch) in depth. The reservoir sits on a collar and an incised twist stem with a basal collar, and a conical foot which measures 6.7 cm (2.6 inches) in diameter. The lamp is 9 cm (3.6 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. There is a small white inclusion (probably clinker) in the metal of the bowl dating from manufacture. The lamp rocks slightly on its foot.
It is made from English lead metal weighing in at 150 g. (~ 5 oz.).
