IMPERIAL Vintage Glass Hobnail Tulip & Cane White Milk Glass Mini Oil Lamp

Shabby Chic 1950’s vintage Imperial Milk Glass miniature oil lamp. Kerosene lamps have been used since the mid-19th century and were common before electric lighting. • The main parts of a kerosene lamp include a fuel font (the base that holds the kerosene), a burner with a wick, and often a glass shade to diffuse the light and reduce glare. • When using a kerosene lamp, it's important to use high-quality, pure lamp oil. • This particular lamp was made by Imperial Glass and features the Tulip & Cane pattern in white milk glass. The labels indicate it is genuine milk glass.  Measures 8”x3.5”  Great condition for its age!! The shade was broken at one time and has been repaired/glued. Not noticeable unless you’re really looking for it!  (Most of this description was taken from Google image search).
