Biblical Herodian Clay Oil Lamp – Authentic Glazed Replica from The Time of Jesus in Jerusalem - Handmade Holy Land Christian Faith Gift

It's very well made! The glazing on the outside is perfect. There is an bare spot on the bottom and a small bit inside you can take note of. These spots effect absolutely nothing. At least I've not noticed any problems. As with any lamp it's best to put it on a small dish to catch any leakage. It does not leak much and is perfectly normal. To not opt out of this product just because you're worried about leaks. It's fine! DO NOT USE STANDARD LAMP OIL LIKE KEROSENE ON CLAY LAMPS! That is unless you want it to turn into a little campfire. It's also very durable! While I was away one of my cats knocked it off a fairly high table. Abt 3-4 feet. On its way down it hit the wooden arm of a chair then smacked onto some thin carpet. I was absolutely terrified! Then to my relief there wasn't any damage to it. Or at the very least none I could notice or have noticed since. On another note, this us just my personal preference but I really like the odd imperfections that come from handmade products such as this. The slightly off handle, the bald spot on the inside, and the tiny pebble that juts out slightly on the right side that I've decided to name Henry. These little imperfections make feel feel closer to the work. It's a reminder it was made by another human being. Call it the mark of the maker if you will. It's not perfect and that's exactly what makes it perfect. My only complaint is the wick it comes with. I don't know why it's waxed. It makes it very difficult to wet and is so thin it falls in and goes out when it gets low. Which I guess one could say is a safety feature. What I did is I decided to make my own wicks out if 100% cotton thread. There are 2 ways I like to use and I'll describe them here. For 1 thread take the thread and fold it in half. Then start twisting it ALOT and if it start to twist into itself pull it apart. Do not undo your twists! Fold the twisted thread onto itself and let it twist into itself now and tie it on the end. Feel free to do another twist and fold before you tie it until you have your desired thickness. For two strings like the one in my picture take 2 threads and put them on top of each other and twist them. Unlike with 1 thread we don't fold before the first twisting. When you have it we'll twisted it let it twist into itself then you can choose to either tie it off or twist it again if you want it thicker. The ones you see in the image are thick! If you found my explanation unhelpful there are YouTube videos that you can find. I am not responsible for any wick related injuries! I feel like that needs to be said.

It is just what I was looking for.

We bought 5 of these to give as gifts to the kids along with the parable of the 10 virgins quotes...I wanted something that could actually work, I put some olive oil in them and lit them up with a match...burns great, gives off good light...no leaking in them. The Wick it came with was small and from the other reviewers experience I didn't even try it. For a replacement wick I bought "50 Feet Roll 1/4" Round Cotton Oil Lamp Wicks Burner"...search that on amazon...$10 or so... and cut off about a 6" piece for each lamp...works great! I would buy these again. Thank you!!!

This is tiny. It works well and is cute but very small

Nice little oil lamp. Small enough for a curio cabinet. Comes with instructions for lighting it. Comes in pretty colors, I bought the gloss brown, which looks nice under a collection of classical religious paintings.

Beautifully made good quality I don't know if it leaks yet I just got it but be aware it's a lot smaller than it looks I took a picture and I placed it inside of a candle that's how small it is the wick is not that great but the shape and everything is really nice it's burning great I used extra-virgin oil I'll update to see if he likes update the body is glazed but the bottom is not it's cocked and it's leaks through for the price you expect a little better returning it

These little lamps are the cutest amazing oil lamps. The longer you pull the wick out the brighter the flame, it can go as high as a regular candle and light up an area. I absolutely love mine. I bought one for my daughter too. It doesn’t take up any space at all. I bought the glazed and placed it it on a cutting board in my kitchen that I hold a few other things in . It puts a dim light while I’m having dinner, it’s adorable . I did purchase thicker, longer cotton wicks, they really added a nice touch to the size of the flame.

I ordered the brown glazed oil lamp, it does not leak, because it is glazed, however I still put it on a small Acacia wood platter ( the same kind of wood used to make the Ark of the Covenant) just in case. The lamp works great, just as it should, I filled it with olive oil and it lights perfectly. The lamp is small but perfect. Very nice craftsmanship. Highly recommend. I love it!

The lamp is lovely but it did not arrive with olive oil and gift bag.

Beautifully crafted little lamp. I put olive oil and rosemary essential oil in mine and it works great.
