Your cart is empty.This brownish - red oil lamp is made from terra cotta and includes hand made designs that are similar to the style found in actual ancient types of hand held olive oil lamps. This is an interesting item that is also quite attractive, and a pleasure to have in your own home or offer as a special gift. This terra cotta replica of an ancient olive oil lamp is made in the same style as actual clay lamps used in ancient Judea or Israel. This lamp resembles the original lamps from Biblical times and can be used as were the ancient lamps, with olive oil and a fiber wick. "A mitzvah is a lamp," says King Solomon in Proverbs, "and Torah, light." Light is commonly used as a metaphor in the Torah and assumes three different forms: light as a tool used in life, light as a means of connecting to a higher place, and light as light.

This is a beautiful replica and the price is right. However, the wicks provided are too wide to insert in the lamp. I'll have to buy thinner wicks to use it.

Thank you. I am pleased with my oil lamps. They help to make a great and cozy ambiance during our Sabbath dinners.

I was so happy to receive my order so quickly. I was rather surprised with how small the individual lamps were when I removed one from the box it came in. And although each came individually bubble wrapped, two (2) of the ten were broken. Finally, each lamp seemed to come with two little wicks, however, it seems I received only a 17 wicks total. I truly do not want to send my order back, and wonder if I can just glue the broken ones together: would it be too dangerous to fill with oil and light? Can I get two replacements if I send back the two broken lamps? Please advise.

Bought these as a gift for women in my bible study group. I was very please with this purchase until I took them out and one was shattered. Also the wicks were very hard to get in. I just wanted the wicks in for appearance sake not intending to burn them but had to put glue on my fingers and taper one end, let it dry so it would go in.

I purchased these lamps for gifts for my grandchildren to remind them of the story of the wise and foolish virgins and how important it is for them to be prepared with oil in "their lamps" when the bride groom comes. I'm grateful that each lamp came in its own little box. All of the lamps but one came with a wick. I'm not sure that these will ever be lit so sealing them probably won't be necessary. None of the lamps were cracked or broken. I'm not sure why but each of them has a dense patch of black speckles at the tip near the hole for the wick. I'm very pleased with the lamps. They look better than anything that I found in my local stores and at a much better price.

I purchased these as Hanukkah gifts for my family. They were a hit! Everyone loved them.As far as the lamp goes, it is well made, but you can tell that it is a replica, which is to be expected. As in the description, the lamp does seep oil so a small dish under it works great. Over all, I’m super impressed and will most likely buy more in the future!

They all came directly from Israel!! I thought they would be individually packaged (for gift giving) but what you see is what you get. None were broken.

Very nice little oil lamps. Thought they would come with wicks since the single lamps sold on the vendors web site seem to include a wick, but these do not. No big deal since I can probably find wicks easy enough, but would have been nice had a wick been included. Also, very well packed and not one broken. Be careful though, as each lamp is loose in the package with just packing peanuts separating them. We almost dumped a few into the waste as we were unpacking.
