New unused Danforth Oil Lamp. The base is pewter, hand turned in the US by Fred Danforth who works metal by hand and makes exquisite high end objects. Please check their website at www.danforthpewter.com/mariner-pewter-oil-lamp. It provides a warm glow and the flame is secured by the glass which is a lot safer than candles with naked flames. The base is wide which further enhances safety. From the website A Danforth Pewter classic, the Mariner pewter oil lamp was designed with a wide, stable base like a ship's decanter. The sleek and elegant sheen of our satin finish glows warmly even without the flame. Designed for function as well as ambience, our oil lamps with their hand-blown glass chimneys are the highest quality. The Mariner Oil Lamp holds 20 ounces of oil. Oil burns at approximately 3 hours per ounce (based on our smokeless liquid paraffin oil). Stands about 14" high with a diameter of 6 1/4 inches. The pewter chamber without the burner is 2 3/4 inches high.
