The font sits a bit low, causing the lantern to sit flat, but on the font rather than base.

The figurines—small nude or semi-nude human forms — add ornate, figural detailing typical of European craftsmanship from that era. These lamps were used for indoor lighting by burning whale oil, animal fats, or vegetable oils, with the wick (often cloth or cotton) threaded through the spout to produce a flame.
