Swirled Rosettes by Riverside

This Swirled Rosettes pattern oil lamp was made by Riverside Glass Co. around 1884 to 1900.

Thanks to the distinctive flared clinch collar, it is easy to identify the maker.

Both the collar and the font have a small notch in them which is supposed to ensure they line up correctly before the brass sleeve is crimped inside the collar. As is the case with this oil lamp, it didn’t always work out that way and they were often misaligned.

The Swirled Rosettes glass pattern is identified on page 296 fig. (e) of Catherine Thuro’s first book “Oil Lamps – The Kerosene Era in North America”.
