Need help identifying a lava lamp

[Dustin Bargsley]

Hi all, I am considering buying the lava in this picture.  It looks like a wizard, but I have never seen one with these colors so I don’t know know if it is really a wizard or if it is a custom creation of some sort.  Anyone know if this is a authentic Wizard?  

Thank you, Dustin.

That looks like a proper silver Wizard base and cap, but I'm pretty sure that the glitter globe is from a newer lamp. Lava Lite has been experimenting with painted globes recently.

Should’ve added this one to the one I listed above but forgot it.  The same seller has this another lava lamp for sale too  it looks like a Clearview to me, but I’m new at collecting so I don’t know all the models of authentic lava lite lava lamps.  I am suspicious due to the on/off switch being on the cord instead of on the front of the base.  I don’t know if there were models of Clearviews that did have on/off switches on the cord. Can anyone help me verify whether it is a real Clearview?   Thanks so much!

I added a different pic of another lamp to identify also.

Alex, I was thinking the same thing. But the pattern of colors are different between these two and I don’t know if the patterns vary on the painted globes or if the pattern is the same on them all.

Their "hand-painting" is not a very good quality and some variation is noticeable on all of those kinds of globes. They had a similar problem with the rainbow painted Grandes. The lighting may also be affecting the way it looks.

Oh I see.  Well the seller wants $45 for the Wizard with the painted globe. Is it worth that much? I’m meeting in Person so no shipping costs.
