The Skipper Oil Lamp is the smallest in the Mariner family of lamps. The base of this oil lamp is handspun on a lathe by our talented pewter spinners. Our oil lamps create the perfect ambience to any room, indoors or outdoors. They make a stunning wedding gift that "lights the way" for newlyweds; they also make meaningful gifts for anniversaries, birthdays, and retirements, for anyone who has added warmth, light, and beauty to your life.

Let your lamp illuminate your holiday decor in December, warm the long nights throughout the winter, and then light up the patio during spring and summer. All year round, whether on a dining table, a coffee table, or outside on a porch, oil lamps provide beautiful, warm lighting that's perfect for a gathering of loved ones or a night of solitary reflection. They are as functional as it is beautiful; a Danforth oil lamp will reliably light the darkness during a power outage, providing security, peace, and even beauty during a time of uncertainty.

Watch an oil lamp being made on the Discovery Channel's How It's Made, which shows Danforth Pewter spinners making a Mariner Oil Lamp.

    Would love to see a coupon or occasional sale on the lamps. A bit pricey for a small oil lamp, but with superior quality, and top of class in both form and function, I'm willing to pay more for the best. Was shipped very timely, and packed well. It was obvious to me these folks care greatly about what they do. I will definitely order from Danforth again!

  • Absolutely lovely 5

    I am a long-time collector of oil/hurricane lamps. I am especially fond of smaller ones. The finish and form are perfect. This little lamp rivals my veerry expensive European glass lamps and (always getting tarnished) silver lamps. Additionally, it is highly utilitarian - when we get our next major flood, it will be put to good use.

  • NICE PRODUCT 5

    The small lamp looks great on my bookcase. It has a nice sheen and gives off just the right amount of light for a small room.

    A beautiful little oil lamp. Wonderful to look at with the lights off, the flame stays constant and makes no noise. Made a great gift for my mother! Can not recommend this enough!

  • A little Vermont in Tennessee 5

    As an ex-Vermonter I chose the Skipper Oil Lamp as a gift for a friend who looked after my home when I visited Vermont for my son's wedding. It is a wonderful example of Vermont's craftsmanship.

    I got this lamp as a gift and it was just lovely. Now I guess I am going to have to get one for myself as well! My friend sent me a picture of it lit and it is beautiful...I will be back for another or one perhaps a bit larger! Thanks!

  • Great gift 5

    Posted by Jan Harper on Jan 1st 2016

    I ordered this oil lamp for my husband and he loved it. The graceful lines, the beautiful pewter and glass design is elegant. This small but mighty lamp will come in handy when the power goes out and we need light. Looking forward to purchasing another lamp for myself. Thank you.
