THE JERUSALEM GIFT SHOP SINCE 2004 Herodian - Classic with Handle - Replica Ancient Clay Oil LAMP in Bag & Certificate of Authenticity Hanukkah-Judaica/Christian

I recieve it in normal box if this product is from holy land the presentation should be better

It's very well made! The glazing on the outside is perfect.There is an bare spot on the bottom and a small bit inside you can take note of.These spots effect absolutely nothing. At least I've not noticed any problems.As with any lamp it's best to put it on a small dish to catch any leakage. It does not leak much and is perfectly normal. To not opt out of this product just because you're worried about leaks. It's fine!DO NOT USE STANDARD LAMP OIL LIKE KEROSENE ON CLAY LAMPS!That is unless you want it to turn into a little campfire.It's also very durable!While I was away one of my cats knocked it off a fairly high table. Abt 3-4 feet.On its way down it hit the wooden arm of a chair then smacked onto some thin carpet.I was absolutely terrified!Then to my relief there wasn't any damage to it.Or at the very least none I could notice or have noticed since.On another note, this us just my personal preference but I really like the odd imperfections that come from handmade products such as this.The slightly off handle, the bald spot on the inside, and the tiny pebble that juts out slightly on the right side that I've decided to name Henry.These little imperfections make feel feel closer to the work. It's a reminder it was made by another human being. Call it the mark of the maker if you will.It's not perfect and that's exactly what makes it perfect.My only complaint is the wick it comes with.I don't know why it's waxed. It makes it very difficult to wet and is so thin it falls in and goes out when it gets low.Which I guess one could say is a safety feature.What I did is I decided to make my own wicks out if 100% cotton thread.There are 2 ways I like to use and I'll describe them here.For 1 thread take the thread and fold it in half.Then start twisting it ALOT and if it start to twist into itself pull it apart. Do not undo your twists!Fold the twisted thread onto itself and let it twist into itself now and tie it on the end.Feel free to do another twist and fold before you tie it until you have your desired thickness.For two strings like the one in my picture take 2 threads and put them on top of each other and twist them. Unlike with 1 thread we don't fold before the first twisting.When you have it we'll twisted it let it twist into itself then you can choose to either tie it off or twist it again if you want it thicker.The ones you see in the image are thick!If you found my explanation unhelpful there are YouTube videos that you can find.I am not responsible for any wick related injuries!I feel like that needs to be said.

Inmediatamente se siente una energía de paz y armonía, muy extraño todo. Bellísima lampara!

The lamp is lovely but it did not arrive with olive oil and gift bag.
