The reservoir is equipped with a brass collar on which a lid having a central tall cylindrical burner would screw. The burner has a short threaded through it. The piece is also equipped with a conical snuffer attached to the lid with a short chain. The glass reservoir has a round base with a constriction supporting the round clear glass reservoir. The piece is clean and does not appear to have seen much use. It does appear to be all original and is in very good condition. A small and interesting piece to add to your collection.
