This is a blown art glass finger oil lamp that has an English type brass collar.
The pattern style has been identified as Victorian period Cut Velvet Pink Ribbed pattern using cased glass and features an applied reeded handle.
Purty. Is there anything stamped on the knob used to turn the wick up and down?
I am waiting to get it in the mail but the seller described it as such,
"Nov. 25 1872 and Feb. 11, 1873 patent dates on the thumbwheel."
Oh, this is just lovely! And more unusually, it is the glossy version of Cut Velvet, without the satin finish. Now this glossy type I have seen attributed to Stevens & Williams & also to Thomas Webb & Sons. What a great piece, I really hope it turns up soon!
Oh...thank you so much. That will give me a starting place for my research.
You are very GOOD.
Always happy to help!
