Crafted during the peak of the Pacific Northwest studio glass movement, this authentic 1990 Glasshouse Studio oil lamp features hand-blown art glass with a brilliant, high-iridescent luster. Measuring 6 inches in diameter with a low 3-inch profile, the surface dynamically shifts across deep peacock blues, magenta, rich violet, and golden hues as light hits it.

The wide dome profile is detailed with hand-applied, raised trailing glass threads and delicate frit accents. The underside base features a ground/polished pontil cavity with the original hand-incised signature, maker mark, and 1990 production date ("Glasshouse 1990 Fado").

Complete with its original blown-glass wick tube insert and braided cotton wick assembly, this piece can be filled for functional ambient tabletop lighting or displayed unlit as a vibrant sculptural art glass object.
