Herodian - Biblical Classic with Handle - Replica Ancient Clay Oil LAMP & Certificate of Authenticity Hanukkah-Judaica/Christian Gift - Handmade in The Holy Land

These are just beautiful! They arrived intact and within the expected time frame. I thought from the picture that the oil jar would be a little bigger, but it isn't a problem. I am so pleased with these. My co-worker loved them so much, too, that I gave them to her. I will order myself another set later. I was inspired to purchase this by watching "The Chosen" and my co-worker watches it also. I will definitely purchase more!

It's very well made! The glazing on the outside is perfect.There is an bare spot on the bottom and a small bit inside you can take note of.These spots effect absolutely nothing. At least I've not noticed any problems.As with any lamp it's best to put it on a small dish to catch any leakage. It does not leak much and is perfectly normal. To not opt out of this product just because you're worried about leaks. It's fine!DO NOT USE STANDARD LAMP OIL LIKE KEROSENE ON CLAY LAMPS!That is unless you want it to turn into a little campfire.It's also very durable!While I was away one of my cats knocked it off a fairly high table. Abt 3-4 feet.On its way down it hit the wooden arm of a chair then smacked onto some thin carpet.I was absolutely terrified!Then to my relief there wasn't any damage to it.Or at the very least none I could notice or have noticed since.On another note, this us just my personal preference but I really like the odd imperfections that come from handmade products such as this.The slightly off handle, the bald spot on the inside, and the tiny pebble that juts out slightly on the right side that I've decided to name Henry.These little imperfections make feel feel closer to the work. It's a reminder it was made by another human being. Call it the mark of the maker if you will.It's not perfect and that's exactly what makes it perfect.My only complaint is the wick it comes with.I don't know why it's waxed. It makes it very difficult to wet and is so thin it falls in and goes out when it gets low.Which I guess one could say is a safety feature.What I did is I decided to make my own wicks out if 100% cotton thread.There are 2 ways I like to use and I'll describe them here.For 1 thread take the thread and fold it in half.Then start twisting it ALOT and if it start to twist into itself pull it apart. Do not undo your twists!Fold the twisted thread onto itself and let it twist into itself now and tie it on the end.Feel free to do another twist and fold before you tie it until you have your desired thickness.For two strings like the one in my picture take 2 threads and put them on top of each other and twist them. Unlike with 1 thread we don't fold before the first twisting.When you have it we'll twisted it let it twist into itself then you can choose to either tie it off or twist it again if you want it thicker.The ones you see in the image are thick!If you found my explanation unhelpful there are YouTube videos that you can find.I am not responsible for any wick related injuries!I feel like that needs to be said.

As described. Lovely piece.

Ordered the product to include in a meat and cheese spread and couldn’t be more pleased with how it created a warm and inviting atmosphere to my spread. Great quality and charming glow. The one complaint I will add is that I find the cotton wick included has a hard time holding a steady flame. But the vessel itself is very well made and feels old. Very pleased with my purchase.

Worked well, authentic. Had to place something under to avoid leakage.

This was a gift. The person who received the gift was very pleased.

the lamp is tiny but that is not my issue. nowhere on the certificate does it say made in the holy lands only a replica of a lamp found at a dig site. I would send it back but the closest ups store is 30 miles from me so Im stuck with it . the lamp is cute but isnt what i expected .without a proper certificate of authenticity I cant give it as the gift it was intended to be

Perfect little hand size lamp. Can imagine this being the same look as ones carried in ancient times. Excellent for object lesson for church
