Description

A small black-glazed lamp seen at an angle, with a round filling hole inside a raised rim in the centre, a broken nozzle at the left and a long flattened handle ending in a rounded knob at the right. The glaze is dark and glossy, with some chipping on the rim and body. The lamp stands on a plain pale backdrop, and the photograph is mounted on a card with a visible border.
