This oil lamp with a long spout is an example of Andalusian pottery. It has a biconical fuel reservoir with a flat base. It also has a narrow neck with an open rim and an oval handle that joins the rim to the carination (angled bulge in the body). The spout is very long, with a convex base in the shape of a hare's ear. The spout shows signs of wear. It is from the street known as Calle Desengaño, in the city of Huesca.
