Know before you buy
No, this lamp is designed exclusively for indoor use. The open-flame design is sensitive to drafts and wind, which can cause the flame to flicker or smoke.
For the cleanest, smoke-free burn, we recommend using Wolfard Lamp Oil. Avoid using standard kerosene or other heavy fuels, as they can cause soot buildup and damage the glass.
Because it is crafted from durable borosilicate glass, the lamp is dishwasher safe. You can also hand wash it with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth to maintain its clarity.
No assembly is required. The lamp arrives ready to use with the wick and holder already included; you simply need to add your lamp oil.
The lifespan of the wick depends on how frequently you use the lamp and the height of the flame. To ensure a clean burn, keep the wick trimmed to about 1/16th of an inch above the holder.
