    We're not sure where this came from, but most likely 100 years or so from the East Coast. We have been calling it the "Whale Oil Lamp" because there are glass dolphins on the bottom holding the ball.

      It's a European lamp and could be English or Bohemian in origin. RER

      Thank you! We had no idea where it came from. For our family, England makes most sense.

      Hi Markie1 , do you want to sell that ?

      I don't think so- it's been in the family a long time.
