Yours looks great.  I consulted Jim on mine and I'm leaving it alone.  It has yellow liquid (your liquid was clear) and it tones down the green lava to where it looks nice.  Pretty sure it's an original color.  Mine is a regular Enchantress Planter, not the Elegant.  I put up a picture.

I'm happy with how it turned out. I'll always wonder if I should have gone green though!

Oh yeah, that looks nice.  I might do this to mine.

Great! Thanks so much! I have looked on eBay for vintage candle rings, but never found anything that I thought was perfect (or it was too expensive). Thanks again for the link. I'll check it out. :)

Very lovely Erin!  Have you tried "candle rings" for the flowers?  I've included a link:

I have found some of these that won't fit over the cone that hold the globe, but just a little snip of the plastic ring and you can set it in place and turn the cut area to the back.  Once it is in place you can't tell that it is cut.

I haven't purchased from this company so I can't give a recommendation, just using it for reference.

Can't wait to do the flower ring.

Absolutely beautiful!

And, uh...I have no idea either...except that in their early days ALL Enchangtresses (Elegant type) had misty liquid - aside from the 'Champagne Mist' color, they were the only ones to be made that way. As you can see, the mist liquid plus the narrow globe gives you colored lava against a colored background.

Jonas tells me this is one of the "mist" lamp, but I have no idea how you tell a "mist" lamp from a cloudy one!
