A D-type fuse, or Diazed fuse.

Looks like a small bottle shape, made of porcelain, with a contact cap at the smaller end and disc at the other.

They are used for domestic mains voltages. (Esp N.America)

They fit into a round socket and held in place by a porcelain cover, which is screwed into place by Edison screw.

Different Amp ratings have different size end caps. This ensures that a higher rated fuse cannot fit into a smaller rated socket. (vice versa is possible and safe).

The Edison screw cover usually has a glass top. A fuse which has blown, can be seen through the window. A small colored disc, that secures the fuse wire to the larger end of the fuse, is an indicator. If it is in place, the fuse is OK. When it blows it falls off.
