Up for your consideration is this jonior size (15" to the top of it's shade) plus a wonderful quality art Glass shade. The dog Figural antique Oil Lamp is in MINT MINT condition with no issues! There are hardly any blemishes at all, and none even worth mentioning; no staining, and no mold problems from manufacturing. The porcelain piece is part of a rare Staffordshire figural series. The wick is present, the burner raises & lower the wick smoothly. This is a lamp you will be thrilled with & one you will always enjoy & be proud of! I deserve & earned 100% feedback's which include many many similar lamps to this one. This Victorian Art piece is a larger version and stands about 15" to the top of the shade. The antique chimney is also a rare one as it is a short step down short 5" size (hard to come by) and has a few wavy lines & wonderful imperfections too.
My truly honest take on this lamp.
The lamp is very exceptional as a starter,the porcelain relief is both thicker & has much more relief then others. The tiny eyes are very shin and I had to use a magnifier to determine if the eyes are glass (they are not).
The detailing is much finer bring it to a higher level as is the French Gaudard burner (besides the patina it looks unused).
The dogs pose with his mouth open creates a mood with his/her expression; the dog is like a friend who with his eyes looks like he is either talking to you or listening intently! Please magnify the picture on the shade it is that soft & tender.
