Ancient Greek oil lamps were typically made from clay, although some were crafted from metal or stone. They featured a simple design with a reservoir for oil, a wick holder, and a spout for the wick. The clay lamps were often decorated with intricate designs and were used for lighting in homes, temples, and public spaces. Olive oil was the most common fuel used in these lamps.
