Very interesting aquarium style glitter lamp

[Autumn]

I made an agreement with the seller that if she gave me high resolution photos of her lamp I would post an ad here, so dont ask me questions about the lamp, ask the seller. The lamp definitely looks vintage to me, but I am not sure who made it. Regardless it will end up in the Lava Library as soon as I determine who made it. For now it has a temporary page.

Well I did have a globe in the 70's that I busted the top on and lost all of the water and wax.  After cleaning it I put a small goldfish in it, so technically a real lava lamp has had fish in it.  But it was not a good outcome.  I also put brine shrimp in it later, but that was worse.  I turned the light on to see better and forgot to turn it off.  It got hot :(  

I've learned a lot since I was 13

It's late 70s to mid 80s, age-wise. And no, no real lava lamp has had fish in it, but post-China Lava did once do a Midnight-looking lamp containing plastic fish moving in bubbling water, with an air pump in the base.

Well temptation got the better of me and I decided to take the plunge and bought this lamp. I got it at a better price than listed. Will post pics when I get it.

Congrats! I'm always glad when an OG-er gets a lamp we all lust after ('cause then we can lust after pics here!).

Got it today. It is more stunning than I ever imagined! The metal parts are a light copper color.

That's gorgeous. Congrats on being its new owner!

Thanks. It was nice to be able to plug it right in without having to do a rewire : )
