The silver Glitterball is not produced anymore. I bought mine on ebay UK. From time to time they appear. Have a look at this one : item n. 250270108328 on ebay.co.uk. The problem is that shipping to USA will be very expensive...

When turned on the lava looks like gold, when warm and turned off, it seems to be chrome. I bought it on ebay. They are quite expensive as they are somehow rare. If you make a search on this site with "glitterball" or "metallic" you will find the other colours that exist and you have a perfect description of the lamp. I also own an Astro metallic green (in the pictures) and an Astro metallic purple.
May lava enjoy your life!

Wow, thanks so much for the info (sorry if I sound like a parrot), but I am truly grateful - especially for the french glitter hunting. They're right up my alley. I am brand new (accidentally saw a Florence art glitter and have been obsessed ever since). I am purchasing a Mystique later this week and trying to get a Florence glitter also. I still have to learn more about the lavas - but I love the stunning vintage ones. I'm going to save up and see if I can get an Aladdin. The choices are soooo tempting (but there don't seem to be many vintages out there - is it because you few guys have them all squirreled away? ;-)

Thanks again for everything. You're terrific!!!

Best,

Jen

Yes, that is my collection. I have been collecting them for a VERY LONG TIME! I have collected them from flea markets and collectible shows and, of course, eBay. I have seen them for as low as $40 to as high as $350 (which is one that I saw on eBay that I was surprisingly outbid on). A couple of the ones that you have seen in my collection are the only examples I have ever seen. I know very little about them, but I LOVE THEM! I saw the one that you mentioned on eBay and it's one of the more common examples. Those pop up every couple of months. The rarer examples (2 or 3 globes) hardly every appear. There are still a couple I am missing. If you post on Oozinggoo, you'll get responses from a few of the more informed members. One even made a diagram of all of the known styles. There is one that I know of that I am missing (the same one that I was outbid on). If that one every pops up, you can be sure that I will be bidding REALLY HIGH for it. I have acquired a couple more since the photos were taken. If you e-mail me at PullThis1@aol.com, I will send you pics of any that you would like. I appreciate your offer of looking for stuff for me, but honestly there is nothing else that I am really looking for at this time. Bryin
