1884.116.6Pottery lamp of buff ware, darkened on the top. Circular body with no handle and a wick nozzle or lip that has broken off. Upper section narrows from the shoulder to a (broken) central hole. Wick hole is positioned on the side of this rise so it is directed towards the edge where a nozzle appears to have broken off, however blackening suggests it was still used once the lip was gone.
