The image on the right is rather spoiled by my neighbour using the bathroom at the crucial moment. I hadn't noticed until I started work on this topic. I have floated a tea-light on water in the container, and added two tea-light lanterns, one behind my lamp to shine light through the flake cut to clear knop in the stem.

Searching the internet I found this example, height approximately 10" (25cm), bought in New England and being sold by friendly and helpful ebay seller
wahoo-mercantile. Note the very similar metalwork, probably by the same factory as mine, suggesting a significant international operation. The experienced seller has suggested that oil is added to holders with a floating wick. Please respect the seller's copyright of these images. I sought and have permission to use them here only.
Enlightenment and relevant ideas welcomed.
Thanks for your interest,
