Sorry to join the chat on this thread 10 years too late!

Saw something very similar today at the Car Boot Sale in Surrey and wish I had bought it! It had green wax and the Dragon was green too. Very elaborate and heavy too as I picked it up to examine.

Got Non-buyers remorse now!!

Hi Marcel,

No - of course it's not metal - it's resin through and through.

The glass bottle is nice and solid though.

The whole thing weighs 2.5kg and the original price sticker underneath says £37.99

It was bought from Widdop Bingham & Co in Birmingham - they're wholesalers of Chinese giftware....and obviously it has a Made in China sticker too.

Definitely ok for a lava lamp from anywhere, I reckon!

Kinda looks like the lamps that Spencer's sells. Very cool, I'd love to have one!

Hi Marcel - they may be cheap Chinese lamps but if they sell for 59 Euros then I won't complain!

Hi Marcel - yep - I know they're cheapo lamps but they still look quite good.

The joins in the segments of the dragon's tails aren't brilliant, for example - but they work from a distance and look the part.  And definitely not a 'regular' item on eBay uk.

Aladdin - believe it or not we bought it on eBay earlier this year.  Can't remember what it was listed under - something like dragons and Myth & Magic.

However, my wife thinks it's too 'dark' for her liking - despite the fact that she collects dragons and lava lamps.

Thanks Bohdan for your praise!  Any flattery is always welcome!!!
