Anything you can tell me about this antique oil lamp will be greatly appreciated. I think its ceramic and has interesting design carved into it but I don't know if the design represents anything significant.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Oil lamp and these are still being produced today to look old and sold to tourists. I would say it is not antique but a reproduction . A example below . Several countries used them often called Greek Oil Lamps but were made by others also
