Curated by Vocal's Erica Wagner: "My friend Paddy Crewe gave this to me; he’d found it in an antique shop in his native Yorkshire, but there’s plenty like it on eBay. I adore it. Filling the bowl, lighting the flame, adjusting the wick — all of these give me great delight and a real sense of touching the past, though I’ll admit I’m not sorry I’ve also got that new-fangled electricity up and running in my home. This makes me smile even when it’s not aflame."
