Wolfard Glassblowing Co. Floater Oil Lamp

The glass vessels are designed with a weighted bottom that allows them to float upright in a bowl or vase of water. You simply fill the reservoir with the included lamp oil, insert the wick, and place the vessel into your water-filled container.

Yes, they are stable enough to sit directly on a flat surface like a table or mantel. However, they are specifically engineered to float, so they look and function best when used as part of a water-based centerpiece.

Not at all. The glass vessels are dishwasher safe, making it easy to remove any oil residue or dust. We recommend hand-washing if you have delicate floral arrangements or decorations inside the bowl, but the glass itself is durable.

The set comes with a 32oz supply of lamp oil, which is the recommended fuel. For future refills, use a high-quality, smokeless, and odorless paraffin lamp oil to ensure the cleanest burn and longest wick life.

The longevity of the wick depends on how often you use the lamps and the height of the flame. With proper trimming and maintenance, each wick can last for many hours of burn time, and the included wick holder packets provide the necessary replacements to keep you going.

As with any open flame, you should exercise caution. While the glass is sturdy and heirloom-quality, the lamps should always be placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials, curious hands, or pets.
