Whale Oil Lamp
The Whale Oil Lamp by an unknown artist features a glass lamp with a rounded bowl-like top that tapers down to a narrow stem and then flares out into a circular base. The lamp has a small black metal piece on top with a short protrusion. The glass is clear, and the lamp appears to be empty. The background is a plain grey color with a slight shadow underneath the lamp.
