Whale Oil Lamp
The Whale Oil Lamp by an unknown artist. A glass lamp with a rounded body that tapers towards the bottom, made of clear glass with small dark specks throughout, and a black metal piece on top. The lamp sits on a clear glass base with a fluted design. The base is square with rounded corners. The lamp appears to be sitting on a plain surface against a plain background.
