Whale Oil Lamp
The Whale Oil Lamp by artist is a glass lamp with a teardrop-shaped body and a short, circular base. The clear glass body has horizontal lines running across it. A short, curved spout extends from the right side, and a small loop handle protrudes from the spout. A black metal piece sits atop the lamp, likely for holding a wick. The background is a plain white surface with a subtle shadow behind the lamp.
