Retro Bubble Light Centerpiece

Liquid shimmers and rolls through upright tubes while the concealed bulbs warm the room. Miles Kimball has carried bubble lights since the days when every living room had one on the sill. This piece sets the whole show on a molded base with berries and faux sprigs that come right off if you prefer the plain line.

How it works

Tubes screw straight into the gold colored base. As the concealed bulbs warm the liquid inside, columns of bubbles rise and shimmer through the red and green glass.

Removable greenery ring

A sprig of faux greens and red berries rests around the bottom. You can lift the greenery right off to show the clean molded base, or keep it nestled around the lights.

Cord with inline switch

The cord runs to the nearest wall outlet, long enough to reach down from a mantel or dining buffet. A small roll switch along the cord turns the bubbling glow on and off.

Where to set it

The molded plastic base rests flat on a windowsill, a hall table, or the sideboard where guests gather. It stays indoors where the lights can flicker in the evening dim.
