Plat-Mex, oil lamp in Aladdin lamp form with wick and ball finial, sterling silver (925), Mexico Sterling silver (925), small oil lamp in the form of an oriental Aladdin lamp by Plat-Mex, Mexico, hallmarked under the foot "PLAT-MEX S.A.", "925", "STERLING" and "HECHO EN MEXICO", together with an engraved model number. Flat, tapering body with long spout containing a wick, domed stepped lid with screw-out ball finial, curved handle, foot with moulded rim, plain surface. Good condition. 15x7.5 cm (WxH), weight 100 g. Plat-Mex S.A. was a Mexican silverware manufacturer, probably based in Mexico City, which held the number 20 during the period of the state eagle marks. The shape of the small jug follows the magic lamp from the tale "Aladin und die Wunderlampe", an oil lamp from which a djinn appears when it is rubbed. The story was written down in 1709 by Hanna Diyab from Aleppo for Antoine Galland, who published it in 1712 in his French edition of "Tausendundeine Nacht".
