Miniature oil lamps have a loyal following, and this one is especially appealing for its bright blue glass and documented Smith book reference. It is a sweet little piece for collectors who love early lighting, pressed glass, and small-scale antique displays.
A small lamp like this adds a lot of character without taking up much space.
