oil lamp

An ancient form of lighting. The most basic oil lamps are simple clay cups filled with oil into which a wick is dipped. Later oil lamps are more ornate and made of materials such as bronze or silver (think of the "magic lamp" from Arabian Nights).

For more modern petroleum-burning "oil lamps", see kerosene lamp.
