Maybe it is Sidney's lamp, and he was Aladdin's genie? Looking at the screencaps in the gallery, I think it's a total match for Sidney's lamp. But they did change the details a bit and reuse it for a different genie in OUATIW so that could be happening again. Hopefully a Giancaro Esposito announcement is coming?

I really like the idea of Sidney having granted a wish for Aladdin in the past! Most of time, I'm wrong when I get attached to a theory lol, but this one would make total sense. How they not connect Aladdin and the original OUAT genie during an episode referencing "mirror" in the title, right? Haha. Not making Giancarlo's genie (don't know what else to call him, since the character is still unnamed) connected to Aladdin in some way would be a very big missed opportunity. The fact that this episode has a reference to a mirror, and Giancarlo's genie became the Magic Mirror, tells me this is most likely what is happening.
