Lava lamps An original Mathmos Astro lava lamp. A lava lamp is a decorative lamp, invented in 1963 by British entrepreneur Edward Craven Walker, the founder of the lighting company Mathmos.

A re-drafted article should also include reference to Mathmos as the UK manufacturer of lava lamps (non-capitalised). One of the issues here, I feel, is that the title "lava lamp" has become a semi-generic in the way 'Hoover', 'Biro', et al have done in the past, and any article needs to clarify this. --AlisonW 18:23, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
