      The oil lamp part is decorative only. What happens when you plug it in ? Is it a mercury vapor bulb in the cyl. or what ?

      It only lights up when plugged in like a standard lamp. Nothing happens in the cylinder as far as we know. However, there looks like there is reminisce of oil inside the cylinder.

      It handles a reg. light bulb ? Maybe it was a skinny lava lamp ?
