A few pics showing the fogginess / haze / smears of my pink/bluew lamp

[Jeff]

Here are a few pics I took today of this lamp where the fog or haze or smear or whatnot shows up.  I was discussing it in the comments on the video Samantha posted (link below).

Here are a few more showing it perfectly clear (note there is a lamp lit next to it for the 2 flowing pics, and the 1st one was taken w/ the flash on the camera...no fog shows up)

See how towards the bottom of the globe it kind of looks like the "Northern Lights" somewhat?  That's the fog/haze I'm referring to w/ this globe.

Yeah I see what you mean by haze and northern lights kinds of effect, I'm not sure what causes this but some of my lamps have this and the most noticeable one is my 32oz pink/pink USA that has that when it's first lit it when flowing it goes away, I think it's just the light reflecting on the glass..

Here are some streaks on one of many like this

Trevor, those same "streaks" is what I get on my grande. It's like a smear of wax. What Jeff is showing though looks like a haze inside of the glass

[Jeff]

Thanks for the info...we did look at it at the store too...but I didn't catch that.  I mainly was focusing on how many of the little white dots it had...the first one we pulled out looked like that old windows screen saver w/ the stars that came at you...so did the 2 I had just taken back.  It's a shame there is no QC w/ the glass quality anymore.

Off topic...how do you get the pics to embed?

Usually, any wax residue will burn off after a few runs of new China. The glass marks are unfixable. 

It's hard to see these marks until the lamp is lit up, unfortunately.

The problem I have, is when it spikes, or the wax tip's white heating i get the streaks of wax on the globe all over again.

I'm having that same problem Trevor.. Even if they go away, eventually on their next spike either the tip of a spike will scrape and smear the glass or on its way down it will leave marks on it..
