Gift of W.R. Britton
Object Number:

Gallery Label:
According to the accession records, this lamp belonged to John Ramage (ca.1748-1802), a miniature painter.
The domed top of this lamp's font was formed by using the Magoun Patent method. This method, invented by Joseph Magoun of the New England Glass Company in 1847, eliminated moldmarks by using a hinged, three-part mold to form the sides of the font and a one-piece cylindrical mold to form a cylinder that was then tooled to form the dome.
