Description from the seller
Description of the object
General overview
Magnificent traditional-style oil lamp (or oil lamp) with a foot made of genuine Delft faience (Delfts Blauw). This piece combines the elegance of classic Dutch ceramic with the practicality of an antique light fixture.
Details of the ceramic base
• Origin: Delft, Netherlands.
• Signature: Marked under the base "Delfts Blue - Handgemaakt" (Fait main) with the monogram and the crown characteristic of the workshop.
• Decor: A traditional floral motif hand-painted in the famous blue monochrome on a cream-white background.
• Condition: Beautiful aesthetic condition. A slight crazing is noted (fine cracks in the glaze), quite normal for a piece of earthenware of this age, which gives it its authentic character.
Technical details (Burner and Glass)
• Mechanism: Equipped with a Kosmos-type metal burner (patinated brass), known for its reliability. The adjustment knob is present.
• Drill bit: The original round drill bit is included (see close-up photos).
• Glassware: A transparent glass chimney in a 'bourdonnante' shape (bulb at the base), perfectly suited for the burner for optimal combustion.
State of conservation
• Excellent vintage condition.
The ceramic reservoir is intact (no chips or major cracks).
• The glass is in perfect condition, without a crack.
• The item is sold as a decorative object; the mechanism appears to be functional but has not been tested with fuel recently.
Aware of the fragility of this piece, I take special care in packing the package. The lamp will be shipped with professional multi-layer protection:
• Individual protection: The glass tube and the ceramic base will be packed separately.
• Cushioning: Generous use of bubble wrap and polystyrene to secure the object and absorb shocks.
• Double protection: Rigid cardboard box designed to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.
