OK, I haven't posted anything in a while. Here is some serious stuff 😃 Have all a great weekend! Ron

Eddie Seese marbles under water

Some Onionskins in sparkling water

English Josephs Coats. Probably made soon after WWI in Germany. Called "English" because of their bright colors. Havn't seen a purple one yet.

The ones from the same cane look more or less similar (size could vary slightly)

Royal, check this out. This is Randall Burnetts homepage as far as I know: http://www.geometricjewels.com/ Greetings ! Ron

Ouch, killer marbles !! Considering you are not collecting these you got yourself some really REALLY good handmades... Ron (green with envy)

There are so many.... I especially like the marbles from Eddie Seese and Geoffrey Beetem :-) Ron

And this was an experiment I made on "Mauritius"-Island last year with some marbles from Eddie Seese.

I tried this with some of my German handmades last spring in sunlight. The water really brings out the colors and especially mica flakes. It was a nice experiment and the pics turned out great.

OK, I will do it myself then I think this one is pretty ugly (which makes it special somehow). Quite big, no core, just some small outer bands (but four colors) and a big uncontrolled air bubble. Next: 3 different shades of green

Taa-taaaa ! Next one: a real ugly looking marble (but in good condition) with at least 4 different colors :-)

GOTCHA ! next blue-green-red-yellow without white

I only found some contemporary ones - Hot House Glass - Hot House Glass - Wald Glass - Eddie Seese next: white and pink

Here we go, Lutz/Mica marble made by Stevie Reynolds. I would like to see a pink/lilac marble :-)

Oooooh, I like that green end-of-day cloud....I have examples in all other (main) colours but not a green one (yet). Great collection !

Wow, thanks for your nice words, I am glad you like it !!!!

Thank's a lot for your positive feedbacks. If you have inputs or pics please don't hesitate to send them to me. I am especially look for pics of artist marks on modern marbles for the identification guide.

That's strange... But I have no idea what I could do about it. It is absolutely safe. Do others have the same problem ?

Dear friends I have worked many many hours on my homepage www.glasmurmeln.com lately and all information is now available in English and German. - detailled descriptions and several hundred pics of antique handmade marbles - a lot of information illustrated with pics about grading marbles - a directory of more than 650 contemporary glass artist with pics - an identification guide of modern glass artists - pics of the nicest marbles from other collections Please have a look at my page and if you have pics of interesting marbles I havn't described or if you want me to add pictures of some of your best marbles in the "collections around the world" section please contact me. Thanks a lot and please help me to gather as much information as possible on this homepage for the benefit of all !! Ron

Sulphides are great, I like them !
