Lamp fired in an oxidising atmosphere, with a reddish fabric and fine inclusions. In a double frustoconical shape, it has a marked crest and long peak. The neck is high, cylindrical and moulded with an outer collar and near the crest it has three small holes to facilitate pouring the oil. It has a vertical handle, with a circular cross-section, that starts in the neck and ends in the bottom of the cup. It is glazed both inside and outside in a honey colour.
