Thanks for the input, Alan, I can guarantee that your guess is better than mine!
-
I find the bird-like surface patch over the clear on this particular marble interesting. Especially, in light of this post I made earlier in the ID section.
-
Wow, that's a great collection! Thanks for sharing it. No doubt it will serve as a good reference post!
-
I agree, and I think a few of the marbles in it deserve a little more attention.
-
One of Block's books, I think.
-
I think there is lots of contemporary millefiori out there and the marbles you are referencing are antique and far less common. My suggestion is to tread cautiously.
-
Man, am I glad you showed up!
-
Al, I am so glad you were able too finally get together and see it - fabulous is a pretty tame description!
-
I am obviously wrong about the color, so maybe Barberton - pontil looks melted to me.
-
I must also say, much of my knowledge of Vitro marbles, and my affection for them, comes from Chuck B., without whom, I never would have been able to pull this one from a pile.
-
Well, I am glad that worked out as expected. A couple of years ago I had to convince brother Bill that this marble wasn't a Pelt or an Akro before he'd let go of it, and I sure didn't want to give it back!
-
I am with you! It's the only company where I have seen all of these colors. As requested - one seam is a bit odd. You were on it early, Joep, but I think this Vitro is from Vienna.
-
I would go along with Navarre. The only other possibility I can think of is Barberton and I don't think this color is right for them.

My first yellow latticinio has arrived

Hope you don't mind the edits, Chris, you've got to look close at this marble . . . It's a seriously cool core, so fine, almost like a ghost latticino, there are more filaments than first catch the eye, for sure.
-
That's exactly how I remember them!
-
He's the guy I got that nice Norland box from!
-
Leave it to Steph - I so remember this now that you bring it up!
-
I am with you!
-
Now you're just toying with me . . . and you know I'm an odds guy. Yeah, Steph, notice the "s" on that "odds" too!
-
I appreciate the input folks, please keep it coming. It seems we are all in agreement . . . It's not a WV Swirl. 😊
-
There are a bunch of nice Vienna marbles in this post!

It's a nice one! -
Excellent photography, as usual. That last one is really cool!
-
I agree, this one is the outlier.
-
There is some depth to the trans ribbons but no where near that much.
