Description

The lamp lies diagonally on a pale grey ground, with a long tapering nozzle to the right and a round filling hole at its far end. Its wide open end at left has a raised rim, and the dark surface is flecked with many pale patches, with a blue mark near the upper left of the body. The print is mounted on a cream card with handwritten marks at the corners.
