All kerosene lamps have container for kerosene and a wick or mantle for a light source protected with a glass globe or a tube. 

Standard flat wick lamp has a flat wick made of cotton with has one side submerged in a kerosene container and a glass chimney on it for protection. It is designed in the way that it is fed cold air from bellow while hot air exits above.”    History of Lamps
