This ceramic lighting device was crafted in Persia (modern-day Iran). Originally designed to hold oil, it featured a wick at the tip to provide illumination, serving as a practical tool. Over the years, the surface has developed natural glaze wear and fine crazing, imparting a rustic texture alongside its rich hues. The gently rounded form balances understated ornamentation with an air of elegance, and when held, the weight and tactile quality of the glaze evoke the unique charm of ancient ceramics.

It can also be appreciated as a water dropper for calligraphy, adding a touch of artistic flair.
