N/A. (N/A). 1. NM. Some haze to inner chimney. Label is discoloured. Corrosion to the metal fittings. Some grime. Obviously not old, nor intended to deceive, this was made as a humorous memento, advertising the famous miracle oil lamp cures "absolutely nothing"! Although they also do list coldness and darkness as being cured, which of course is a highly accurate claim. 2. The bowl has a 4 x 3 mm flake to one of the upper petals. Another has a shallow flake as well. Small impact to base edge. The blue chimney has some minor flakes to the inner lower rim and some surface fractures, probably from making. A few nibbles around the ground upper opening as well. Nice looking item, this is embossed to the bottom of the bowl with S. Clarke Fairy Pyramid. Estimate: $20-40
