ok, don't wanne insult anyone but no, the bullet is nothing like a jardiniere. it's a massive block of aluminium while the jardiniere is made of very thin metal. also the jardinieres with the flared tops/bases are not exactly the same on top and base.<br />
the base has one ring where the bottle sits on and many(dont know if all) of the tops have two rings.<br />
saw this on a few giant jardinieres...the small ones are identical I think.<br />

<p>Technically it's "giant jardiniere." A jardiniere is a plant stand. Those lamps were made by a competitor called Glitterama. They made two sizes, with a flared base and either a plain cap (bullet on large, conical with flat tip or bullet on small...I think?) or jardiniere cap (identical to base, flared with flat top). Glitterama claimed that, while the jardiniere models could hold a potted plant, the plain models shared a trait with the Astro Lite - that being that the lamp is 'charmingly…</p>

I believe I've seen Glitteramas in black, silver, metallic red or blue, and possibly white? The 'giant' models use a Lunar globe.</p> Please check that:

<p>This bullet is a rare bird in deed. Some people value these prototypes, and for $700 that's a steal !!!</p>
<p>As rare as a Lunar may be published, It's not nearly as rare as a giant jardine or this bullet prototype. </p>
<p>In fact the Lunar isn't really rare. In any given month how many do you see?</p>
<p>The value with these prototypes is in the ownership. </p>

<p>Personally I like the bullet model better then the lunar. (but that;'s me) and I think the Giant Jardine is the shiznits over them all. Again that's me. </p>

Agreed. Bohdan knew a lot, and I even bought some lamps off him. He always WAY overcharged for shipping, had some real rarities though, and was a whiny llittle bitch. Grumpy old hippie I guess...
