Aladdin vase lamp kerosene oil paraffin incandescent mantle lamp + shade gallery. Please scroll down for photographs. Here we have a 1930s aladdin glass vase lamp, it is i believe in their 'variegated duo tan'/'variegated two-tone tan' colourway, it consists of a sandy-gold ground with fired-on hand 'sponged' patches of amber and green, clear spots of glass where the paint hasn't touches have an iridescent sheen (i tried to show in close up), the foot is finished in metallic-gold paint.
The lamp comes with an original shade gallery/support to take parchment shades of around 20 1/2" base measurement, but might take different aladdin parchement shades with the 4" wire holder in the top (no shade included). The oil pot is a super aladdin side-draught with a new-old-stock wick fitted, it comes with a lox-on chimney.
Dimensions; 28" tall to top of chimney, around 6 7/8" across vase. Condition; other than tarnish to the brass oil pot, burner and shade support, it is in working order, the new wick adjusts as it should.The vase has a few small flakes to the inner top rim from placing the fount in and out over the years, the inner edges of the foot have a few shallow flakes and finally there is a manufacturing flaw on an outer rim on the gold foot, it was likely done when removed from its mould, the fired-on gold finish is on top of this minor flaw showing it was done during manufacture, three vertical lines on foot are mould lines not cracks! (overall, nothing major or detracting in any way, please see images).
