Description:
A decorative, alcohol-burning brass spirit lamp.
The lamp is supported on an oval base. A small steam boiler, in the form of a brass globe, is suspended by a pair of decorative curved serpents or snakes over a flame element. One of the snakes has a mouth which forms a nozzel, conveying a small jet of steam from the boiler to the area over the flame element.
The flame element is a short brass cylinder, covered on the top, supported by a decorative circular base.
