The burner is positioned in the center of the base and surrounded by a large, rectangular frame. The burner consists of a metal ring that hooks to the frame, four metal bars that surround the glass chimney, and a dome-shaped burner in the center surrounded by circular vents. There is a knob to the lower right of the burner for adjusting the flame level. The glass chimney sits on top of the burner and has a pear-shaped by. It is capped at the top by a flat piece of metal attached to the frame. There is a small, circular handle at the top and a larger looped handle connected to the frame. The back of the lantern has a large, rectangular plate that also somewhat covers the sides of the lantern. It has a circular design on the back with lines radiating from it.
