Nowadays we'd call this a night light. It's a small lamp which ran on oil and a floating wick. This is a new décor, for me at least, with a lot of purple in it.

Great shape-- one of my welz favorites!
Thought this was a more common decor-- I will check my examples and see if they have any purple. Maybe I am getting some decors confused or is it the abundance of purple?
I will check and get back to you!

There are two that are quite similar, scott.
So it's not just oxblood and pink? It's purple?
lol no oxblood at all. It's like they added purple patches to a common pink and green décor.
I think burning a candle in that would get the glass too hot - and possibly break the glass!! The opening is too small - and smaller than the body. I can't find any other reference to 'life light". . Other people call these pedestal vases.
Do you have a catalog reference?

Life lights used oil and a floating wick. I've seen a box of floating wicks. The information was written in four European Languages. These never took a candle. Welz did make types of small lamps that used candles. That said candles of the 19th century did not burn as hot as those of today.
