Gotta be Vitro here.

Another interesting one. At first I wanted to say Akro because of the size and some of the colors. But now I'm leaning toward Vitro because of the transparency of the green.

One inch? Completely gorgeous. I guess Master or European, leaning toward European because of the brightness of the colors and the number of colors, but I really don't know.

I also got a Jabo vibe but it might just be the lighting. The base is not quite looking white to me. Lighting that made it seem more white could change my entire impression, I'm sure.

I have no advice on cleaning chinas. I have had color loss on clays. But I don't have much experience with chinas.

The "China" ones are German also.

I think CAC on black/orange and green/yellow. Pelt Rainbo on the right. Don't have a guess on the swirly pastel one that's on the left in most of the pictures.

Nifty!

Vitro Opal?

Love the hat!

Spring is finally here and we're rounding the corner to summer. It's very nice outside. On Sunday I fixed a couple of dishes with dandelions. A dandelion and mushroom omelet and a side of dandelion fritters. There's actually a marble connection there because the dandelion fritter recipe came from Ron Buol's wife, the mosaic artist Frances Green. She's apparently an adventurous cook also! The fritters were quite tasty. Her recipe on Facebook I had a bag of roasted salted almonds, so I crushed them up as well as I could for the "ground nuts" part of the recipe.

My mother gave me a cactus once. I was living in Oklahoma. She brought it up from South Texas. I felt so guilty for not loving it. I didn't love any plants at the time, but I wasn't bringing them home with me. I had no idea what to do with a cactus in my dorm room. Your flowers are beautiful.

That pink tote in the next yard back .... there's a fair-sized boy in it.

Replaced the smallest container in that photo with a still-small-but-a-little-larger one, which now contains seeds for skinny onions. Planted cucumbers in the big one. Carrots and radishes in the other two. Starting to think about the idea of getting pregrown flowers, but it's still a new idea for me. Right now I'm trying to figure out where to put more dwarf sunflower seeds, since the packet we bought online contained a thousand and so far I've only planted less than ten.

Looking at the texture of the base makes me wonder what you see if you backlight it. If it has fire inside then I'd call that an Ace. Then I'd think about what extra adjectives that little line of red might give it. But if no fire, then that line of thought is moot.

They used to be thought to be Christensen. Then they were thought to be Champion. Further study pointed to Alley. Sometimes marbles change places. Like Helmets went from being Akro to being Vitro and those pretty blue patches went from being Alley to being Akro.

I was checking my computer on a break, saw your post and had to run out to get this picture before the shadows got too long. I had quite firmly told myself I was not going to have a garden this year, but I had 20 minutes to kill on Monday and spent them in a garden center and got home with 8 tomato plants. Planted those in two different plots. Added green beans, peas, cilantro, dill, marigolds, dwarf sunflowers and butterfly friendly flower mix in various spots around the yard. Now I'm I'm thinking about what to put in the containers.

I just don't know. Leaning Master for the structure, but with it being a larger than average marble ... nothing would surprise me.

At almost .7 different seam rules could apply .....

Have you put it under UV?

Oh my. What Art said. Gotta go with Master though those colors are driving me bats.

schweet!

Why don't I just blow everything up by suggesting LATE Vitro or Jabo.

You sound like you're in great hands.
