question
I have bought an oil lamp TK2 with a wick in it. The dark ball seems made by hand and baked. Is this an original wick?
We had not composed this glaze, but it come from Degussa in Germany.

question
In the lid of the oil lamp is a hole. I've found that this is in all your lids. At one of these vases I bought, a piece of string connect the lid with the handle of the vase. Is that the reason that you made a hole in the lid?
answer Hugo
That's right. If the supposedly oil lamp was filled with dried flowers, the lid remained at the oil lamp. Flower binders used iron wires as part of the dry flower bouquet. The iron wire was also used to bind the lid to the handle.
