Oil lamp
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
An oil lamp is a lamp used for lighting. Usually, it produces a flame by burning olive oil, or other vegetable oil. The designs were usually made of potterry or metallic lamps. This design might remind someone that by cleaning (rubbing the lamp) a Genie might appear, and grant some wishes (as he did in the tale of Aladdin in the 1001 Nights)
Today, those lamps have mostly been replaced by kerosene lamps. You can also try oilve oil canola oil and others.
