This finely crafted miniature Aladdin motif oil lamp is executed in solid sterling silver and assayed in London. The piece features the classic elongated spout, loop handle, and fitted lid associated with traditional Aladdin lamp forms, rendered here as a decorative novelty. Hallmarks include the lion passant confirming sterling silver purity, the London assay mark, and a date letter consistent with late 19th to early 20th century English production. Miniature silver curios of this type were popular during the Victorian and Edwardian periods and were often made as desk ornaments, conversation pieces, or collectible novelty items. A charming example of English silver craftsmanship with strong display appeal. Check photo for completeness
