A lacemakers lamp, also known as a bulbis or candle globe, is an optical device historically used by home-workers to concentrate candlelight onto intricate textile work during evening hours.

They were typically fashioned from blown or pressed clear glass, sometimes incorporating filled water spheres or solid crystal lenses supported by glass or metal bases.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-appropriate manufacturing traits such as pontil marks, minor inclusions, hand-cut facet details, and patination consistent with age and use.

Placed on a desk, bookshelf, or mantelpiece, the refractive glass element acts as a striking sculptural object that catches natural light and adds historic character to a room.

Antique glass should be washed gently using lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or abrasive cloths to protect the fragile surface.
