Old French Porcelain Lamp or Burner

Pottery

 

Here is a very rare circa-1930's porcelain nite-lite from France, called a 'Veilleuse.' This one is a little Aladdin lamp. It's about 5 inches tall. It's hand-painted, and in perfect condition, since it is new from old stock, having spent almost a century on the site of the factory where it was made. It is not yet wired for electricity (it has a big hole in the base and a smaller hole in the side for running the wire); these lamps were equally used as incense burners or little candle burners. Either way, this would look perfectly magical when lit!
