The purpose of this site is to both acquaint other collectors & dealers with my passion of collecting art glass miniature oil lamps, as well as to buy, or to trade our bases & shades. At the top of this site you will find several categories which make up the site. I am actively seeking others who either have or know others who have quality lamps or parts to sell or to trade what's displayed in my parts pictures. One of my core goals is to always create win-win situations, so we both come out winners! I have been collecting both art glass miniature oil lamps & well as porcelain/ceramic figural oil lamps since 1984. Just about all you see on my site is currently in my collection! Because I keep finding rare unlisted lamps I spend a great deal of my time these days researching & writting.
