A beautiful mid-19th century pressed glass whale oil lamp, likely produced by the Westmoreland Glass Company. The lamp features a tiered hexagonal font with deep molded panels, a clear glass ball stem, and a faceted base that catches the light beautifully. Its precise mold work and balanced proportions reflect the refined craftsmanship of American glassmaking during the period.
