Below:Whilst Crestworth popularised and created the glitter lamp, other manufacturers were also creating their own designs. In fact all over Europe there were manufacturers creating beautiful vintage glitter lamps. France featured a great number of manufacturers of glitter lamps and in fact even lava lamps. One of the styles that is so popular was the typical "Window-styled glitter lamp". Window glitter lamps feature cut outs on the design of the lamp showcasing and presenting the glitter floating within.
One spectacular vintage design features a long flared base with a spherical bubble like container containing the glitter glittering away for a totally unique effect. There are so many beautiful vintage glitter designs. Another favourite is the clown glitter lamp below on the left, we love how the hat is the topper of the lamp too. This is glitter lamp heaven! Thank you to all the kind collectors who donated photos of their vintage glitter lamps including Anne & Bohdan for their amazing help.
