That looks very similar to my Chalwyn lampses. Wonder
I'm going to have another go at getting them to burn correctly. Oil lamp

You too ??? The only way to get a decent looking flame was to cut the wick to a point . Plus , once it's lit , I have to babysit it and keep adjusting flame height until it stabilizes .

Hmm, I'll try that... Wonder

For some reason , this starts burning really weird when the oil level gets around 1/3 . The wick is long enough that it reaches the bottom of the reservoir . The flame gets dim and flickery and erratic . This thing is also a pain to extinguish . It's mounted about 6' above the floor so I need to carefully remove the chimney with an oven mitt , then blow it out !
