Gnomish firefly lamp

Gnomish firefly lamps were decorative lamps that were popular in nobility parties across Faerûn.

Description
A typical firefly lamp consisted of a basket-shaped container made of a wired mesh that served as a trap to capture fireflies. The glow provided by the fireflies did not provide any useful illumination, but made for a nice eye-catching atmospheric glow in gardens or darkened rooms. Captured fireflies died if not released within the end of the evening.

Gnomish firefly lamps were available for purchase through Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue.

History
These lamps became popular among the nobility in several cities, including Arabel, Neverwinter, Silverymoon, Suzail, and Waterdeep, sometime in the 14 century DR.
