Description
From the sellerThis item is an antique pewter whale oil lamp modeled in a classical Roman or "Aladdin's lamp" shape, dating to the 19th century.While it closely resembles a small teapot at a glance, it was used for indoor lighting by burning whale oil or animal fats. The cloth or cotton wick would be threaded through the elongated gooseneck spout rather than pouring liquid.
