    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?
    4. sklo42 sklo42, 3 years ago
      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.
