This lamp has been in my family for over 100 years.
I had it checked out about 30 years ago and they said it was from Germany and at the time it was estimated to be 300 years old.
It had candle wax in it, then it was changed to gas, and later to electric.
I have look everwhere and I have never been able to find one like it anywhere. It is about 4 feet high and is made of brass with blue ceramic from the base up to the bottom of the lamp area. The one thing mising are two of the side glass panes on the lamp. I hope you enjoy seeing this unique lamp.
