AFAIK, these were sold only by Spencer Gifts. I'm, a lava lamp collector, even beyond tiki-anything. I've seen only one base design so far. They were offered only in the two colors, which are the "big two" color combinations used by nearly all of the knockoffs: red in violet, and yellow in blue. eBay is the best bet on these, unless Psycho Tiki D will sell you his.

As for opening and unclouding these, first ask on oozinggoo.com's science section. There are variopus techniques for unclouding - some involve opening (this style is particularly difficult to reclose) and others do not.

You can also hunt for the bottles from this style (see attached) which is called the "Hot Rock Lite", a feeble attempt to call it a "Lava Lite" without using the word 'lava' and incurring the wrath of the trademark-holder. These should fit the tiki lamp. They might be one size larger - unfortunately I can't remember, I own a Hot Rock but not the tiki lamp. Came in the same two colors, too.
