A sea glass table lamp is a nice and fairly simple way to use your sea glass collection.
1. Keep your eye out for one of those lamps that have the clear glass body or clear glass base. You might check the local thrift store and garage sales.
2. Take the lamp apart and fill the body or base with your sea glass, some shells, sand, etc, and you have a nice display for your sea glass.
3. A light source in combination with your sea glass is probably the best way to effectively bring out that special warm glow that makes beach glass so delightful.

NOTE: It's even more effective if you can find several other lamps that can be used in this way to give a balance to the decor in your room or home.
Of course, this same idea could be applied to any globe or bottle-shaped glass container, but is particularly effective with this type of lamp because of the light shining through and reflecting off of the beach glass.
