SOLD
Very nice conical stoneware oil burner by Robert Tarling. I'm not sure if this was from his time at the Kersey Pottery or later the Newport Pottery in Dyfed although I'm drawn to the latter. It could also be a drizzler although the cork would have to be removed for that to work effectively and it's too close to the spout. It does have what I thought was a wick but is actually a pipe cleaner. A wick would work better - light it to draw the scented oil through and then extinguish it as the oil starts to burn, allowing it to glow for a few minutes. Nice looking item.
