When viewed from the side, the tube narrows; it's just a round tube that's been squashed slightly. The Prestige seat tube is flared. This is a Prestige seat tube.
The seat tube of the '94 Cinder Cone was ovalised at the bottom bracket, but not bulge-butted. You can see the difference in this picture:pipmeister":2ybz72co said:As hamster pointed out, the 1994 Lave Dome and Cinder Cone were identical frames. These were Tange Double Butted Cromo, and both have a Flared Seat Tube at the Bottom Bracket as clearly seen in your second picture.

There are a few '94 Lava Domes on the forum that don't have upper rack mounts. This frame does. That's not conclusive, but the green layer may not be original paint either. The white layer could be primer, or it could be '95 Kilauea white.If your frame is a respray, I would suggest that the colour green that is visible underneath the yellow around the bottom Bracket in your first picture matches the green of the 1994 Lava Dome ...
... unless this frame is also Prestige Concept. The seat tube suggests it may be.if you could weight your frame, we could compare it to Splatter Paint's Kilauea, which will be lighter as that is constructed from Tange Prestige Concept.
