Hi. Welcome. That's a "Contemporary". A modern handmade marble. Sometimes a maker will leave a signature. Do you see any letters or numbers which appear painted on or etched in? Condition needs to be judged in person. From the pictures it looks like this will be NM+ or M. (Near-mint plus or mint.) It takes time to learn to grade marbles. They need close inspection. You need to develop an eye for any little nicks or subsurface reflections ... without getting paranoid about it and blowing some microscopic defect out of proportion. In the meantime if you're trying to sell, then provide nicely detailed photos of all sides of the marble.

Agree with Vitro. I guess it would be in the All-Red family.

Top: I think MK on the ends and Peltier Rainbo in the middle. Bottom: That may be a Vitro Whitie on the left. Could be right about the last two being Alley.

Vitro Cat's Eye. Nice photos.

Alley for sure

Peltier Rainbo. Vintage

Welcome! ... link didn't get there for me. This seems to work: https://www.instagram.com/designsbybing/?hl=af Nice pendant in your avatar over there. That blobby cane look really works.

slush, slush baby ..... to be followed by 9 days with only one chance to break above freezing.

So ... how do we get the orange? Still not understanding. Thanks for your patience.

Looking Ravenswood from here.

Thank you, Royal, for sharing this. Condolences to his family.

Middle and right are Peltier. I'm not getting a handle on the cutlines on the purple one.

Congrats on a popeye in the wild!

Really? That orange is coming from the green? Naturally I considered the possibility that it was from some kind of blend, but I didn't see how we would get that as a blend, so I got my hopes up for Dindo.

That pattern doesn't look modern. But with that vivid green taking up half the marble, I'm not placing it. Maybe Vitro?

The yellow and black is definitely a Marble King Bumblebee. No oddball there. A classic. Alley on bottom right.

Vitro Tiger Eyes It'll start to gel soon!

Cool! And yes! That looks like a distinct extra color. That would be a Hybrid Popeye ... which is highly valued.

gorgeous!

P.s., the glowing lavender is from Fenton Burmese glass cullet.

Only three. I expected more. But I do have some 3/4" Jabos with similar-looking lavender which disappointed me by not glowing. But pretty is good.

Thanks, Alan. I was curious about how anyone would work with such tiny bits.

And to think last month I got giddy over hubby bringing me home a BB-sized clearie -- no color.
