Lamps that burned whale oil typically were used in the average household from the late 1820's until the early 1860's, by which time kerosene had supplanted whale oil as a primary source for lighting. Pressed glass lamps were made from about 1830, with vase-type shapes similar to the lamp shown in this listing popular between about 1835 and 1845...The Westmoreland Glass company, among others, is known to have produced reproductions of whale oil lamps in the 1930's, as collector interest in Colonial Americana spiked. Glass companies made examples of reproduction whale oil lamps in both colorless and colored glass, with etched design or left undecorated

This example is a reproduction made long enough ago by the Westmoreland Glass Company - estimated 1950's, and well enough, too, that today's collectors may easily mistake it for an original early glass lamp - a wonderful, clean whale oil lamp to add to your collection at home ..

Measures:
Total height - 9.25 inches
the 6 point base is 4 inches from two farthest ponts

Light signs of previous use and ownership needs to be taken into consideration...Flawless condition - any imperfections would be craft related..
