Antique Islamic Persian Nishapur style ceramic glazed oil lamp. A stunning brown pottery oil lamp in the unique Nishapur style. A pinched top bowl, with its narrow spout for a wick, sits atop a long, thin neck strap handle descends from top to saucer shaped drip pan. Such lamps were perfect for carrying- the wick was stabilized by the pinched shape, and the drip pan provided a stable base. Size: 5? wide with handle x 4.5? base diameter x 5.75 Height.
