Both main inscriptions around the body and mouth read:
'izz li-mawlana al-sultan al-malik al-'alim al-'ad- il al-malik al-nasir (glory to our lord, the sultan, the king, the wise, the just, al-Malik al-Nasir). The inscriptions in the shield-motifs around the mouth contain repetitions of the word al-'alim (the wise).

See G. Schmoranz, Old oriental gilt and enamelled glass vessels, English Version, Vienna and London, 1899, pl. XXVIII for another blue glass lamp with notably spherical body, formerly in the Mannheim Collection, Paris, and now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York [Gift of J. Pierpont Morgan, 1917, 17.190.986]. The links in design of the Metropolitan museum’s blue Manheim/Morgan lamp with the present example and the previous lot indicate that all three were the product of the same manufactory in Paris. Please see also the note to Lot 33.
