It's always cool to see cullet and matching marbles, and this is a great example - all the colors are there.

I am pretty sure it is inner painting (Chinese, nèihuà), where paint is applied to the inside of a hollow glass object (globe, bottle, etc.). As far as I know, it is a fairly common form of art in China.

This is so cool, Ron - my next birthday card? lol "Special Birthday Teas Served" - Oh boy, we're partying now! -
You're showing some super examples, Ron - I especially like the latticino in green glass. The horizontal swirl is awesome too, but is it German?
-
Those are dandy big ones, Ron. Did you by chance get them from another Ron?
-
That's a nice colorful assortment!

The transparent swirls can be tough, especially the ones that are, essentially, slags. I'd probably stay with Alley. Transparent Ravenswoods are usually a bit more sparse. Regardless, it's nice batch-glass white swirl.

It's intriquing . . . If it was a factory box, I would expect to see the company name & address on it, somewhere, either on the top or side of the lid, or at least "made in the USA" along with the logo stamp. It also seems a bit too fancy for a stock box and not quite fancy enough for a gift box so . . . ? Having said this, it's important to realize that I am near clueless about Akro boxes.

Water-driven stone polishing mills are machines, right?😁 a couple of close-ups. And here it is with some non-machine-made stoneware. I'm betting the stone is older. lol -
