This particular piece has a very nice unusual shape, which resembles a refined
candlestick, which sets this particular one aside from the more crude and plain
examples more commonly found. There is a very interesting ring atop the base,
that seems to have been added, perhaps as a symbol of a marriage.
This one comes apart in 4 pieces including the lid. The base is weighted with sand.
It is complete with a wick.
Approx. Dimensions:
Maximum width: 7"
Height: 10 3/8"
Total Weight: 772g
Condition: In good age related condition, complete with wick. Some minor dents around the base,
old soldered repair on the receptacle spout. Very presentable and still usable.
