I think the gliterbabies are not being produced any more - they were made in the 90's by Mathmos and also earlier by Cretsworth (these bottles still fit astrobabie bases). The difference between Cretsworth and Mathmos glitter bottles is the Mathmos ones have about half the glitter as the Cretsworth ones so look more modern where as the Cretsworth ones look more vintage.

Yea it is normal for the glitters to change colour as the bottom of the globe has a glass paint on the bottom to change the lights colour.

The glitterbabies are hard to come across - I have 2 (one of which is a Cretsworth bottle) and I think these were the only ones I saw on ebay.

Hears a link to info on them http://www.imovatedesign.co.uk/astro/2000.html
