The aim of this research, based on a series of unpublished lamps from Mersin, Malatya and Mardin museums and all the necessary parallels, is to propose a new hypothesis on the chronology and diffusion of the type of lamps Donald Bailey nicknamed “teapot-shaped”, well attested in continental Turkey (Konya, Akşehir, Sagalassos), where their production is very well framed. In the coastal part of Asia Minor, on the contrary, this type seems to know at least three peaks of production: the Hellenistic period, the 2nd to 3rd century AD and, finally, the 6th century AD.
