<p>One of the ones I just re-did was orange and clear. The lava was just too bubbly to be salvageable. It's a red/blue now and looks great. I may just make an orange one someday.</p>

<p>VintageK, the Enchantress 'mist' colors were, for the brass bases: lime/green mist; yellow/orange mist; blue/blue mist; red/green mist.</p>
<p>For the flocked bases: Malibu Orange flock, yellow/orange mist; Mojave Gold flock, orange/yellow mist; Mexicali Avocado flock, lime/green mist. Like the brass ones, these (which came slightly later) offered both planter and plain models.</p>

<p>If I had to guess, and that's all it is, I'd say yours was a lime/green mist using the early-70s "sage green" lava. From what I've seen, the mist liquid tends to either turn clear, or get much more cloudy. When new, I believe the liquid was only slightly hazy, but probably picked up the light and formed a solid-looking colored background to the lava.</p> You sir have an amazing lamp!…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2015-12-09:1566398:Comment:6049612015-12-09T23:17:22.369ZKeithhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/Keith

I love the early lava as well, for it's amazing flow and nuanced colors. This question is for anyone but I am guessing Jonas will have an answer. I have a 72 Enchantress Slim Decorator with the dark booger green and foggy urine-ish liquid. I have brought the lava back to life with a little vegetable Glycerine and it is flowing like brand new. Super happy I am! My students have all commented how the colors all look like a toilet lava lamp... haha (It's in my art room where I teach) Doing more research on early lamps I found the color combo for the slim enchantress with the flocked base and cap that was Green lava with lime mist liquid. Before I dye the liquid teal to have it appear as the Sage Green/Blue as mentioned appeared in a 72 Century, I wanted to know if anyone knows if the slim decorator's came with green/lime mist combo or if anyone has any photos of what the green/lime liquid may have looked like. Is this it? It is definitely misty (foggy) but not terribly so. I would just hate to dye it blue and never be able to go back to this pale yellow color if indeed this is how it was intended to look (I'm a purist!) </p>
<p>Also, side note, all of the early amazing-flow lava I have seen is always filled with little bubbles, I don't mind it but was this not how they originally appeared? Thanks gang!</p>

<p>So far, one of these pea-soup-green Centuries has showed up in a box. And that box was marked... Lava: Sage Green Liquid: Blue. I believe this 'sage green' was a color which followed the 60s true green and preceded the 70s cream color, and proved problematic. I could be wrong.

I have also, on occasion, seen 32oz. and even Consort globes with this pea-soup-in-phlegm faded color, and always from the 1970-1973 period. The majority of icky-green Centuries seem to be '72s. Erin, I'll disagree that these are yellow/greens, but politely; I could easily be wrong.</p>
<p>The early-70s Centuries, and only the Centuries, had the golden lacquer on the bases fade with age, leaving them silver. If you find a Century with a silver base and brass cap, that's why.</p>
<p>Gunner, that line of Centuries, red/yellow, faded green, green/blue and orange/yellow, are exceptionally beautiful to me. I have a loosely-similar row, showing the three colors (red/clear, blue/green, and an early true-orange yellow/orange) and the three vintage bases (brass, brass-faded-to-silver, and two-piece matte copper).</p>
<p>Dr. WHAT?!, "Champagne Mist" used cream-colored wax. The liquid was a pale amber, and was hazy like the early Enchantresses.

<p>Hmmm, weird. Yeah the wax level is definitely closer to #'s 1,3 & 5 in your picture when fully cold. Completely hidden when seated on the base. I just can't get over how awesome this looks when lit up. The star lites in the base have way more artistic merit than on the modern Heritage. I'll have to find an old 60's with 2-piece base along with a boxed 70's. Oh, and a Carlisle!</p>
