Pretty much the grail for all lava lamp collectors - perfectly clear fluid, original box, ran for 2.5 hours and no glitter clumping - rare tri-colour replacement bottle
Pristine 1990s vintage Mathmos Astro Baby / Glitterbaby replacement bottle. This is the highly coveted "Fire Warm" Tri-Colour variant featuring fluorescent lime-green and yellow master fluid over a factory-painted, translucent ruby-red filter base. The condition of this bottle is absolutely spectacular, featuring flawless crystal-clear fluid with zero permanent cloudiness or milkiness. When turned off, the liquid displays a bright, transparent neon chartreuse color. Once placed on a heated lamp base, the magic of the tri-colour design takes over as the light travels through the ruby-red base and refracts off the large-cut silver square metallic flakes, transforming the entire center into a glowing, fiery amber and orange vortex while the top retains a hot pinkish-orange ring. The factory emerald-green and gold card replacement box is included alongside the original vintage purple paper instructions sheet. The bottle still retains its authentic molded 858 glass production mark on the bottom, making this an incredible deadstock find for any serious vintage lighting enthusiast. It will be packed securely with premium bubble wrap and padding, and due to the rarity of vintage Mathmos formulas, it will only be shipped during safe regional weather temperatures to guarantee the fluid stays perfectly preserved during transit.
