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.

That thing is neat! Never seen anything like it before.

This would look sweet next to my unicorn.

Wow and double wow!

[Erin]

No one got it. The auction ended with no bids whatsoever.

[Jonas Clark-Elliott]

...it didn't sell!? I hope they relist it. Someone needs this!

[Erin]

The opening bid was $89 and without much known about this lamp, I think everyone was afraid to bid.

[Jonas Clark-Elliott]

In my opinion, it is Taiwanese, but well-made, and yes, someone replaced the bottom with wood and a porcelain socket. It's possible that it used to be plastic, and melted from overheating. If the seller would consider more like $60, I'd call it a great buy.

...awww, drat... now I wish I could afford this thing. I really love it. Congrats to whoever gets it. I can pretty much guarantee you'll be hard-pressed to find another like it.

i think a few years ago there was an actual lava lamp that housed little small tetra fish, can anyone remember this

I tell myself stick to the budget while prowsing my various spots and sitesbut then pops up something so intriguing and my heart beast a bit faster and the lamp addict inside yells BUY IT< nah..i will resist ... but really  I cant wait to see who does end up with it..

Pretty sure this isn't '50s. Definitely more 70's in design. A nice lamp.

[Jonas Clark-Elliott]

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.
