The Skipper Oil Lamp is the smallest in the Mariner family of lamps. The base of this oil lamp is handspun on a lathe by our talented pewter spinners. Our oil lamps create the perfect ambience to any room, indoors or outdoors. They make a stunning wedding gift that "lights the way" for newlyweds; they also make meaningful gifts for anniversaries, birthdays, and retirements, for anyone who has added warmth, light, and beauty to your life.

Let your lamp illuminate your holiday decor in December, warm the long nights throughout the winter, and then light up the patio during spring and summer. All year round, whether on a dining table, a coffee table, or outside on a porch, oil lamps provide beautiful, warm lighting that's perfect for a gathering of loved ones or a night of solitary reflection. They are as functional as it is beautiful; a Danforth oil lamp will reliably light the darkness during a power outage, providing security, peace, and even beauty during a time of uncertainty.

Watch an oil lamp being made on the Discovery Channel's How It's Made, which shows Danforth Pewter spinners making a Mariner Oil Lamp.

  • 3.75” Skipper Oil Lamp Pair 5

    Posted by MARY ANNE MARSHALL on Jul 31st 2023

    We were given 30 years ago pewter oil lamps for our dining room table. We have ours for 30 years. When buying wedding gifts, a pair of these for the table (or anywhere) are our favorite gift to give wedding couples. A lasting treasure for a lifetime of flickering romance.

    I have six of the Pewter Lamps and enjoy them all as they are beautifuly designed with true craftsmanship. The only complaint and not against Danforth Pewter, but customs charged me an additional $165.00 CDN to receive the product. Unfortunate surprise.

    Danforth is how I light my Iowa house in the dead of winter. Thank you so much for your lamps, your chimneys, your excellent help.

  • Birthday Gift 5

    I bought this as a birthday gift for my brother and while I have mailed it to him, his birthday is later this month and he has not opened it. I loved it, however, and hope that he does, too

  • Gem of a Lamp 5

    This small lamp sheds a big light and makes a powerful statement. We give Danforth lamps as wedding gifts because they reflect where we live and the craftsmanship still available in the US. They are always well-received, and this one was no exception.

  • Skipper lamp review 5

    Posted by Jason Cole on Jan 7th 2018

    I was very pleased when I received my Skipper oil lamp and in a very short time. I thought that since Danforth produces all hand-made items I would have to wait even longer than the shipping and processing time, but was pleasantly surprised when it took just around the three-day shipping that I had paid for. In a time where customer service doesn't seem to matter to any company anymore, Danforth is definitely top-notch. Thanks again for the unparalleled customer service and exquisite craftsmanship!
