Rare Antique Blue Satin Glass Oil Kerosene Finger Lamp Hand-Blown Uv Reactive

Chairish

$775

This is a museum-grade example of late 19th-century Victorian artistry. This finger lamp features a rare Blue Satin Uranium Glass font—a color significantly scarcer than the traditional yellow-green Vaseline glass. Under standard lighting, it presents a soft, velvety "Robin’s Egg Blue" or sky-blue finish. Under UV light, it exhibits a bright neon green fluorescence, confirming high uranium oxide content. The font is expertly hand-blown with a vertical ribbed design and a perfectly intact frosted applied glass handle. The base retains its original snapped pontil mark. Unlike many surviving examples, this piece is in near-mint condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs, and the satin finish remains beautifully consistent. The lamp is complete with a period-correct brass kerosene burner and a clear glass chimney. This is a "top-shelf" centerpiece for any serious Uranium or antique lighting collection. Circa: 1885–1895 Maker: Attributed to Mt. Washington or New England Glass Co. Technique: Hand-blown, acid-etched cased uranium glass. Item Dimensions: 3.75" tall (12" with burner and chimney) x 5.75" across with handle x 4" deep Reference Citation Book: Oil Lamps: The Kerosene Era in North America by Catherine M. Thuro. Page: 158 (Illustrating related ribbed satin glass miniature fonts).
