Royal Worcester Blush Ivory Oil Lamp Key Lift Burner c.1891

Stunning Royal Worcester blush ivory oil lamp which is of a lidded urn form mounted upon an ornate brass plinth. There are different specimen and colours of flowers sprigs to all four sides with each flower accented and outlined in gold. There is a decorative moulded border at the top of the urn and the reservoir which sits in the base of the urn, has a bead pattern gilded rim with flowers correspond with the decoration below. The porcelain component of this lamp is fully marked for Worcester with the date code of a lower case “a” and the registration number 146468 these combined firmly dates this piece to circa 1891. The lugged collar of the oil lamp is marked Evered & Co Ltd and there is a Working “Rise and Fall” Duplex burner fitted that is marked “Best British Make” to both of the buttons. The wick winders work perfectly and some wick remains. There is an unbranded round bulge chimney fitted and a frilly lamp tulip shaped lampshade. The frilly rim of the lampshade is tinged pink and the acid etched flowers echo the decoration of the lamp perfectly. I am unsure if the lampshade is original or reproduction.
