Item Description:

  • Origin: China, Late Qing Dynasty (19th century CE)
  • Date: c. 1800s CE
  • Size: 4.5 x 3.25 inches
  • Notes: Cast iron oil lamps from the Qing dynasty were practical household and temple items, valued for their durability and affordability. Unlike the more delicate bronze or porcelain lamps used by the elite, cast iron versions were sturdier and often used in everyday settings or rural areas. These lamps typically featured simple bowl-shaped reservoirs for holding oil, with a wick support and sometimes a cover or chimney to protect the flame. Some were crafted in the shapes of animals, lotuses, or auspicious symbols, reflecting traditional beliefs about protection and prosperity.
