content: In this unusual and ornate device, alcohol in the copper ball is vaporized and then travels through the pipe and into the flame. By 1860, Casella in London was selling a similar device that he termed a “Spirit Lamp or Blow-Pipe, self-acting. On the Russian principle, with copper ball.” An inscription on this example reads "Berlin, Inv. No. 7611."
