Glass beads would be a great place to start. Just about any glass blower can pump these Morsels Out.   But who?♥️

Glass beads may be a good lead.   My brain is already beginning to get over the quest to find pieces exactly like the glass-looking candy.  And it's starting to realize some other shapes could fill my unexpected need for small non-marble glass art. 

Some pretty beads here.  But the shell art further down the page took my breath away ....

"Whimsy" is another possible search word which comes to mind, but it's not getting me as close as I hoped it would.

 


Here's some crazy realistic stuff ....  7 pages of it

My first thought is Peltier.  But I see why you might consider Vitro. 

I'm sticking with Peltier for now.   I'm hopeful it's a Christmas Tree but I will defer to the Keepers of Collectors' Names.  

If these were glass, what would you call them?

They're chocolates.  But now they make me want to own pieces of glass that look like them and  I don't know what to search for.

I'm not entirely sure, what I do remember is someone said you could see on the surface where it had been grounded. My only concern for the two I posted if they were indigenous to Germany it would be great to know I bought these two together with some Japanese clay marbles.

 

6.99

I think they have a great chance of being German.

But now you have me curious about what a Japanese clay marble looks like.  Maybe show them off in their own thread?

omg, yes they would.  

The wooly marbles would definitely earn "played with" status. 

Too cool not to share.   The creation of Heike Conroy who described them thus when she posted them on Facebook:

Happy Saturday to all,,,,some " Wooly Mibs",,,Needle felted vintage Marbles,,,Swirls, Sparklers, Chinas, Marble Kings, Vitros, Akros etc.... having fun learning about Glass Marbles, while creating their Counterparts in Wool.

I can't place it, new or old.

I really need to pull out my books that would re-teach me about older ceramics.

My first impressions are 

Jabo, Fried Marble, Vacor

Saw an ad for this on facebook ... had to share

Turing Tumble - Build Marble-Powered Computers (upperstory.com)

If Imperial, I am going to call it a very special one with that beauiful transparent base.  

Thanks for sharing!

Master or Vitro on bottom?  Maybe?   The lavender is intriguing me.  

Hi.  Vacor Cardinal.

Yeah, my choice would have been between Spider-Man and Superboy.

I've been reading a lot of Steph's posts. I must say, Steph is a beast! I mean that in a good way. 😄

  I'm fierce.  

I once had a clear cosmetics jar which glowed the eery blue with a pleasant intensity.  

I loved it.

And I sold it.  

 I want another! 

A favorite UV glow color.  Phone camera made it too bright and added a bit of aqua.    So blue it up in your mind!   

Sadly, my penlight blacklight didn't make it react.  I got this photo with my big plug-in blacklight.   The penlight lit up the uranium marbles in the container, but not the blue.  So it's still useful for me when out rummaging, but I'll need to keep looking for one which will help me find the hidden blue glow treasures on the road.

Our buy/sell section becomes visible after your 100th post.  

So cool.

And happy Thankgiving!

Sometimes coppery ingredients are used to make colors such as green/aqua/blue.  Maybe sometimes red.  

When the coppery ingredients are used, chemistry shows you sometimes get actual oxblood out of it. 

Vintage bumblebee to me.
