Vermont Lanterns Brass Mini Oil Lamp 6.5" (Antique Brass)

This is the cutest looking lamp that I have bought, quality is great though it is very expensive.

Just what I expected. Do not expect this to give an extremely bright light (of course) since this thing is tiny but it does work well to illuminate a room with a nice warm soft light. If you are close to it and give your eyes some time to adjust you can even read with this. I'm thinking in using them to light up a bell tent i a remote area and I think they'll work quite well. The chimney is made of glass and is not "thin" or "thick" is just right. I don't think it's more fragile than any other glass chimney I've seen. The quality of the lamp itself seems to be quite good. I thought it would have a more cheaper feeling but it's well made. It came well packaged I would totally buy this again. For those saying it leaks, keep in mind you are only supposed to fill it below the top seam between the 2 sections of the tank(not all the way to the burner screw). Mi lamp does not leak at all ( I fill it below the top seam )

Good:It's smaller than I was expecting, but I like it that way. I was worried it was going to be as big as the kmart lamp, which is huge. This lamp takes up about as much table space as a glass of water or a soda can.The burner and reservoir are light weight and look delicate at first but seem to be well made, but since I've only had it a few days I'd take that at face value.They sent me a free extra wick with my order.Bad (very petty problems):The chimney looks fragile but that might be my imagination. It does, however, have uneven rims on both sides, and prevents the chimney from sitting flush into the burner, but the tangs hold it tight enough that it doesn't rattle or shift unless you tip it over so not a real issue. If anything, it gives the impression that the glass was hand blown.The burner was screwed into the reservoir so tight I was worried I would ruin it trying to get it loose, or at least bend the chimney tangs out of shape.Other:The shipping looks expensive, but they don't tell you it gets you 2 day priority USPS, so at least you're not paying for a long wait even if amazon tells you otherwise. Check the tracker directly for a more accurate delivery estimate.The light leaves a star shape on the table because of the tangs that hold the chimney.I wish I had the right kind of fuel to put in it to start with. The distance between the wick and the fuel is too long for the wick to work well with vegetable or olive oil which are too viscous; in both cases the wick burns too fast and goes out in < 5 minutes. Even after the wick is cleaned and the oil is given 6 hours time to soak, the wick gets oil but not fast enough to maintain the flame. Works fine with store bought lamp oil.Still a great little lamp, and worth keeping and finding real lamp oil for instead of sending back.

I was looking for a small lantern and this fits the bill for the purpose intended.

I used it a bunch of times and the wick adjuster started getting loose and finally completely stopped working so I had to adjust the wick by hand. Ended up throwing it away. :/
