This is a beautiful vintage Pink Depression Glass oil lamp featuring the iconic figural "Dolphin" (or Koi Fish) pedestal stem. This piece is an exquisite 1920s-1930s "Sandwich Style" Revival, paying homage to the famous 19th-century Boston & Sandwich Glass designs.

The lamp features a fluted/paneled font, a detailed figural fish stem, and a sturdy hexagonal base. The glass is a vibrant, clear pink with no "clouding" or "sick glass" issues. It comes equipped with a vintage brass-toned screw-collar and burner, making it a functional piece of decor or a standout addition to a Depression glass collection.
