<p>[QUOTE=&quot;antidiem, post: 1848781, member: 30&quot;]Most small oil lamps had / have handles that came up and around a little bit. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yours is VERY small, looks never used. I think it could be a souvenir. Nothing about yours looks anything but new to me, that does not look like any ancient crustation on the surface to me. The clay inside the handle is identical to the clay on the bottom, in appearance. The crack could be from a bad kiln firing. It would have been destroyed in ancient times, and the same clay reused to make another. I think it&#039;s primitively made, never used, reproduction of the old style. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am still trying to figure out the wheat shoals and the circles though. It may have been created with an old mold?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
