It is now😉

I think you’re right.

Yep, definitely not Matthews, and maybe someone will recognize the signature. This one is one of my larger ones at 2.66” - a Kris Parke dark beauty:

Chad how big is that beauty, and who is the maker? I can’t quite make out the mark. It sorta resembles one of Matthews’ old Hugo Largos.

“CAC?”🤔

Kudos to all here, especially Bob and Stephen! Nice assortment of mibbage.

It’s a fun place - I think that lovely mib was signed “Bruce 2003” by the proprietor of Moon, Bruce Breslow, the gent on the left talking to the always animated Mark Matthews.

MK keeps on hitting my little gray cells here…

Ditto - I haven’t seen one like it.

“Luxurious” - it is indeed. Pure syrupy goodness, captured forever.

I don’t think that’s a David Salazar swirl, I believe he signs his works with a “DP Salazar” and date. Might well be a Cuneo Furnace (Steve Maslach) product.

What a dark beauty! “Caramel ribbon swirl with mica” is a mouthful, but I can’t think of a more accurate description, other than “sweet!”

Amazing find and pic. I believe there are only 36 of these known to exist (source, oldraremarbles.com maintained by Jeff & Tammy Baker) and that bowl has some color combinations I hadn’t seen before. Note the size of these rarities is actually always 1-5/8” and the pontils are odd, a slightly raised round & flat cutoff. The base glass is also moonie-like, so that the ‘strikes’ float beautifully in the white ether. Very odd for Germans to be sure, which led to rampant speculation that they were of Asian or other origin. And yes, I’m a (former) owner of one - but I’ve never owned a Blue Galaxy, you pick your poisons lol.

Chad you had posted this in the “Wish” section…for every winner there’s a loser, for every buyer there’s a seller…and yes, I miss this big boy…

Need a better pic of this - not big, just one busy mib
