"Likewise, I haven't heard from Kirk for several years now. If someone could signpost me to some good solvent resistant glitter flake material I'd be grateful. Ideally small strand or squares (large or small). "

"Probably just air bubbles attaching to the flakes. Just gently swirl the bottle and tip up and down  every quarter of an hour or so and that should resolve it. "

"It would be highly unusual for a glitter lamp to be Cork sealed. Definitely added after breaking I think.  Would have been a screw cap (any evidence of a thread left?), or possibly a sealed unit as suggested above. "

"That would be great. Tbh, the bottle shape is more like a boiler lamp, and I did wonder whether it originally might have been a sealed unit, with no bottle cap? Does the underneath of the bottle have any coloured stripes painted on it? "

"As it has a broken top/the seal may not be 100% now, I'd use one of Marcel's kits whish are apparently non-toxic (unlike the original recipes!): GlitterKit Fast (goolamp.com) Perhaps you could tidy up the bottle top by using a Dremel…"

"I'm sure someone one will know, but I've never seen anything like it. Pretty cool design though. Shame the bottle tops broken. Presume the glitter fluid needs replacing too?"
