This exceptional Victorian-era composite kerosene stand lamp features a vibrant emerald green pressed glass font with stylized teardrop/palmette embossing, mounted atop a clear fluted pedestal stem and an elaborate circular foot. The pressed clear base is decorated with intricate scrolling scrollwork, relief beadwork, and six-pointed stars within raised circular medallions.

The lamp retains its original threaded brass collar embossed around the top rim with patent dates: "PATENTED SEP 20 1892 AND DEC 4 1893". It comes fitted with a period-correct brass Queen Anne No. 1 burner featuring a functional wick wheel embossed "SCOVILL MFG. CO. WATERBURY CONN USA", alongside a clear glass chimney with a delicate pie-crust scalloped top rim.

• Dimensions: Approx. 15″ overall height to top of chimney; 8″ height to top of brass collar (without burner); 4.5″ base diameter.

• Total Weight: 1 lb 13.9 oz.

Origin & Age

• Origin: United States (Connecticut / Ohio River Valley foundry/glassworks).

• Date / Era: Late Victorian (c. 1893–1905).

Condition

• Glass Font & Base: Excellent antique condition. The emerald green glass reservoir is free of cracks, clouding, or major chips, retaining bright clarity and rich color depth. The clear pressed base exhibits smooth mold lines and typical micro-wear underneath the footing consistent with age.

• Hardware & Collar: The original threaded brass collar is securely attached to the font with clean threads and clear, legible embossed patent stampings. The Queen Anne No. 1 brass burner exhibits an authentic, unpolished aged patina with minor surface tarnish; the thumbwheel turns freely.

• Chimney: The clear glass chimney with scalloped pie-crust rim is intact without cracks or fleabites.

Authenticity Assessment

This piece is an authentic late-19th-century Victorian kerosene lamp. The threaded brass collar exhibits period-correct rolled-edge construction with sharply stamped patent dates (PATENTED SEP 20 1892 AND DEC 4 1893). Inspection of the interior font neck confirms an original mold-blown aperture designed specifically for this plaster-set collar rather than a modern drilled retrofit. The two-part pressed glass structure (green font fused to clear pedestal base) displays authentic mold seam alignments, natural straw marks (shear lines), and micro-bubbles consistent with turn-of-the-century glass production. The Scovill Mfg. Co. burner wheel features raised block lettering with crisp knurling typical of pre-1910 brass manufacturing.
