VICTORIAN: "Sunflower" squat table oil lamp.

I believe this porcelain lamp could be English, and has all original components. The four feet are also decorated with under glaze blue paintings, and the porcelain is ivory in colour. The under glaze blue decoration are sunflowers on the main body and the porcelain drop-in font has a Duplex type burner with a flame snuffer and raising mechanism, and it clips on to the font. The twin wick adjuster has one black button marked Messenger No.2. The font also has under glaze decoration. The main body has a darker colour being almost caramel beneath the glaze, near the top and bottom, including the feet. The Oregon shade is clear etched and has cut grape decoration with a ruffled top.

Interestingly a similar lamp, not including the shade, is pictured on page 126 of Peter Cuffley’s book, "Oil & Kerosene Lamps in Australia". This lamp is illustrated in the catelogue of Maple & Co, Tottenham Court Road, London, W. MARK: Word "Sunflower" on base.
