New Lamps, Updated Display: Mellow Yellow and Ocean Floor

[Keith]

Two new lamps this week, first run for a new Mellow Yellow (orange/yellow) and Ocean Floor (blue/blue), along with a Lunar Phases bought in April and a couple of second-hand lamps bought within the past couple of years.  

We have flow!

Impressions, the lamps seem well made and initial flow is good.  I don't see any problems here.  The gold tone metal of the Mellow Yellow base is really nice, I want to say brighter than original lamp bases from back in the day but that's probably just because of it being fresh.  The Ocean Floor is nice and I love ocean scenes but these wrapped bases are almost never aligned properly, but I do like the globe.  The globe is dark, almomst too dark.  The thing about it though is they say the wax/fluid combo is blue/blue but it looks like purple under a UV light, too bad that effect doesn't show up in pictures.

What a very beautiful display, Keith. I too have the ocean floor and lunar lamps displayed together in my collection, they go very nicely together! I have decided to pair my ocean floor globe with a blue swirl base (blue is my favorite) and it is definitely now my favorite I own.

Ooh, blue swirl is a good call!
