This Piece is a Historical Reproduction



This is a reproduction of an 18th century English oil lamp. Bright light was needed to do the finely detailed work of Lacemaking. The lamp's light was focused through a globe of water to increase its intensity. Although clear glass was not made at the original glasshouse of 1608, reproductions from later periods are produced today. This piece measures approximately 10 ½ " high.



All of the Jamestown Glasshouse produced pieces are hand-blown and crafted by local artisans. The natural color of glass is green so if you seek historical accuracy then your best selection is the green glass items. Since every piece is hand blown and crafted there will be slight irregularities and therefore no two items will be exactly the same.



DO NOT PUT THESE HANDBLOWN GLASS ITEMS IN A DISHWASHER OR OVEN THEY ARE TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE.
