Description :

This is a beautiful vintage oil lamp by P&A MFC Co., a model known as "The Acorn." It features a white porcelain base decorated with a blue floral pattern. The lamp includes its original metal burner and a glass chimney. The unique characteristic of this piece is that the clear glass chimney fluoresces bright green under an ultraviolet (UV) light, which may indicate the presence of uranium or manganese in the glass.
Condition:
The lamp is in good condition, consistent with its age. There are no apparent cracks or chips in the porcelain or the glass chimney. Minor wear is present on the metal components. Please refer to all images for a complete visual representation of the item.
