Whoops, forgot: You HAVE a Bubble Lite! One of only two known to exist so far. And yeah, your other Stardust Lite is what I call blue-purple, darker than the 'medium blue.' Florence used both shades as well as rarer lighter blues.

PURPLE?? As in, looks dark blue at the bottom and purple at the top when lit?

Made by Heat Tapes, Inc., Chicago Heights, ILL. Called a Stardust Lite and supposedly available in gold, red, green or blue. The blue is usually the dark blue-purple and the green is usually pale green. Heat Tapes also made a "Bubble Lite," a lava lamp suspected to be a knockoff. There are four Heat Tapes lamp cases. Two have this Consort bottle/cap and ornate cylinder; one has the flat base shown, the other has a flared upper surface and conical side but also looks like wood. The other two use a different bottle with a taller cap, and have a plain cylinder on a flared, wide support with straight lower sides; one version has the base pedestal in brass matching the cylinder and cap, the other is faux wood. All have the push-button switch like most Florence Art lamps.
