That's sweet Andrea!!, it's amazing how a piece of glass produced with rotation....can be frozen in time, when cooled...yet still project a certain movement?, almost as if the energy is trapped inside the sphere.
Hi Steph, I'm not sure I've heard the expression before?, it just seems to fit.
I'm not sure there's too many of these around?, I could be way off the mark!!
Measuring 0.66", it's skilfully made, any input/insight would be great!
Cheers.
Matt.
Hi all, really quite like these two little ones 0.62"+0.66"
What would you call the divided ribbon with latticino?, a tornado perhaps?, it does seem a bit special!
The ribbons in both appear similar, any thoughts or pics of similar "tornado" types?
Hi all, I've a couple of auctions starting tonight;- 20:10 GB time, another at 20:40.
The first is for a really nice 4 panelled onionskin, 1-7/16" Blue/Turquoise.
The other is a lovely divided ribbon core, a shade under an inch.

That would be great, there's more than one listing on eBay of these green and reds, listed as "CAC or Alley"?
One from a prolific seller.
Thanks Steph et all.
Hi Cheese , yes these look a good match.How can you differentiate between CAC and some of the Alley swirls, when it's thought Alley purchased the CAC production machines?
Does anyone have a comparison pic?, or is based on personal opinion and gut instinct?
Thanks in advance.
Matt.
Hi, I think the clear areas are green glass, there is also a red strand of glass which follows the pattern of the red swirl.
You can't see this without magnification.
Hi, some more pics, I've looked in books and online, could they be CAC swirls?
I've a lot of machine made's but these seem really nice quality, any more help would be great!
Hello all,
Thanks very much for you're help, did any of these companies make solitaire boards?
With there being 32 in total?
I'll upload some more pics later, as I'm at work.
Any more input would be great!
Really annoying guys won't let me upload further images!,will only accept the one?
