First year china lamp

So I found this lamp at Goodwill for $7.00. I could tell it was a china made globe but decided to take a chance. Turns out it was produced on May 21, 2003.

It's got that china cloudy look that never goes away

but when flowing it doesn't look bad, as a matter of fact from across the room it looks kind of good,

it reminds me of deep ocean water

18 years old and still enjoyable.

That being said, if I had bought this new back then I would have been royally pissed at the quality change

Wow, what a good steal. Lava lamps are very hard to come by at second-hand stores in my area, I have never seen one. I see you may have uploaded photos but they do not open. I would love to see it if you shared some more snaps !

Yeah I've found maybe 3 or 4 locally in the past year. Availability has really dropped off in the last several years but at least the price hasn't exploded, lol

I've got a bunch of pics but they are all about the same. I'll need to set up a regular display for it and get better pics.
