There can be no doubt that this lovely uranium glass finger lamp was made by Crown Crystal Glass Co, Sydney c.1930s. It has the classic six star pattern and even has an original burner marked “Crown Crystal Glass Co.” on the thumbwheel.

There is no doubt about it being uranium glass either, as it glows beautifully when exposed to ultra violet light.

Condition

Overall, this uranium glass Crown Crystal Glass Co. finger lamp is in excellent condition. There are no chips, cracks, repairs or damage of any kind. There is the expected shelf wear on the bottom of the lamp which shows that it has been used but it has obviously been well looked after.

The burner is in good usable condition but there is a small dent to the top of the cap. It is fitted with a new wick.

We believe the beaded top chimney is at least vintage if not original to the lamp. There are no markers marks to confirm its origins, however, the glass is heavier than in modern chimneys and there are small air bubbles within the glass.

We are sure this lovely little antique oil lamp will be a wonderful addition to your home or your collection.
