I'd bought one from another vendor. It's pretty when mounted on a wall, that's for certain, but I have a feeling the Kosmos burner on it must be made in China now. This type of burner should put out an intense, steady light with little effort, and that's not the case.If you choose to use it, I'll say that even with the best violet stripe Gaudard wick, the raisers lift it unevenly (which will cause smoking and a tall flame spike if not corrected), you'll have to use tweezers to level that wick, and then it'll go uneven when you try to raise or lower it with the wick winder.
Also, the knob is poorly secured to the wick winder, and will come loose to turn freely if turned too hard.
I intend to replace the burner with an antique Kosmos Brenner 14, the same size, which should work a lot better on this admittedly pretty lamp. If you don't do that, I suggest leaving it as decor.
