Questions & AnswersYou can see in this finger lamp that it is just a very basic. Almost looks like a T-cup vase to it but this happens to be a finger lamp but they are all not finger lamps. You can find this type of vase with a longer stem on it and it is a very simple early American pattern. This one might be a choice that you choose. There are other patterns that get a little more intricate where the top is very plain but the bottom you can see has a circular and dot pattern to it. I'm not sure what the name of it is. This is a pretty pattern also. This might be a choice you might choose. Here's another pattern. I think this one is called Periwinkle, if I'm not wrong. I think this is Periwinkle and this is a Periwinkle flower with leaves. Another ribbed pattern that is very pretty. Very similar to the Bellflower but a different flower. So this is a Periwinkle pattern. It's just a matter of what you prefer. You have a Diamond Point Pattern here. Very common, easy to find. You have this Heart and Waffle Pattern here which is a very pretty pattern. Pretty common and very popular. Here you have a Star pattern here and the color which is really a pretty pattern and you can really see the pattern in that and the blue which is cut to clear. This is pretty but you can also find this in clear. Those are some of the choices when collecting fuel oil lamps.
