For” and a brass thread insert.  Identified in Thuro’s “Oil Lamps” book page 304 as “Teardrop And Petal” pattern.  The lamp has no cracks or chips, just the typical straw marks and air bubbles found in old glass and roughness around the base from years of use.  Base is 6 1/4″ square, 17 1/2″ to top of chimney, great large sun purple or amethyst tint oil lamp ready to use, just add fuel.
