In the days before electricity, Christmas trees were lighted with candles. Obviously a bit dangerous, inventive decorators came up with a multitude of different devices to make the burning tapers \"safer\", and keep them a little farther away from the tinder-dry tree needles. This is anice example of 19th century ingenuity. \"Christmas Lights\". These units held water and cooking oil, and the wick device would havefloated on top. When lit, these lights give a beautiful, sparkling effect in a darkened room.Most of these that are found areAmerican, and date circa 1905. Other common uses of these delightful lights were as welcoming beacons on walkways and porches, window or mantle lights. In addition to the use of oil and water, some people used small candles, similar to the votive candles we use today. Other popular names for these lights are \"Fairy Lights\" and \"Candle Cups\". This Christmas Light is done in the \"quilted\" or \"diamond\" pattern, just one of the many pressed, mold blown or free blown patterns that collectors seek today.
