Anglo Indian Black Toleware, Glass Post Lantern on Teak Base linen presses warm patina and charming ironDETAILS Hand fashioned, in traditional, tapered, lantern form, this antique tole piece features a whimsical top, with a small, pointed cone topping an inverted, scalloped cup, sitting over the chimney. It also has four smoke vents on each sloping surface. It was made to fit atop a post and will make a charming garden light, used with a large candle. It displays a black, painted finish. Now mounted on a teak pillar top base. PLACE OF ORIGIN India
