oil lamp
Ancient flame holder
An oil lamp is a vessel that burns oil to produce light, typically consisting of a container for fuel, a wick, and often a glass chimney.
Oil lamps were the primary source of artificial light for millennia before electric lighting: The cabin was lit by a single oil lamp.
Modern oil lamps serve decorative purposes or as backup during power outages.
