  1. I have seen many old bottle caps here in Italy as well, and some had this flat part In addition, the presence of many nicks, rather deep marks, etc., leads me to this thought I could also err.,..of course
  2. Thank you for the invitation to the team on the issue Great link! ๐Ÿ‘ It's also nice to remember... Thank you! Yes, lately I've been having fun 'creating' these videos ๐Ÿ˜

  5. Turn up the volume! ๐ŸŽง 20260225-144209-5tpkquhs_BbHMpBMO.mp4
  6. By Bulgarian, I mean marbles produced in Bulgaria, handmade by artisans, very cheap, mostly made of shabby glass and sometimes passed off as authentic German models. Many of these are probably also vintage, so made in the 60/70s/80s, though they could also have just been made. Some of them can even be cute, in my opinion, you just have to buy them at the right price, though..
  7. I have no doubt, too similar, including the size What leaves me a bit, no, very perplexed and surprised is that it was listed as Murano As far as I know, they have never made marbles in Murano, unless, perhaps, someone had some request of this kind. I will ask the Murano artist if he knows anything about it, but it will be very difficult to get any positive information, since there are so many artists, there.. Anyway, I'm glad I got a little closer to this particular marble that I had seen listed in the Block auction, thank you, SequoiaBET!
  8. It looks like an old bottle cap
  9. Yeah, even the colors don't add up for me....hmm To me, he is a Bulgarian...
  10. Here's the type of Master I was mentioning, helmet-style (as I consider it)
  11. Hi,Alta Wow, I'd love to see these two in hand. In my opinion these are two Masters The second one is nice, type a helmet, I would like to have it๐Ÿ˜Š I will show some pictures of the second kind, Master Whisplers, considered relatives of Master, precisely because of their similar characteristics. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell them apart, precisely because of their similarity. However, in my opinion, the joints of Master are more pronounced, deep, and clear, so clean, as well as having glass that is much less bubbly and sparkling, in summary. As I mentioned, whisplers in general show (as you can see in the images above) an exaggerated amount of bubbles that the Masters do not have. Then, there might be the exception where in some cases they could be indistinguishable from each other, especially when viewed on a monitor, but generally they can be distinguished. I repeat, the key point for the distinction is the bubbles, in transparent whispers, although it is not an absolute rule. Less sharp and clean seams in the matte ones, compared to Master As for the color palette, I wouldnโ€™t pay much attention to this, as both types of marbles have the same earthy colors. Now, I am not an expert on the matter, I just wanted to give my personal impression on it to be helpful, and I hope it is appreciated. Thanks again to everyone for your attention!
  12. Thanks to both of you! I really appreciate it Maybe in the future Stephen will decide to make a video about these too? ๐Ÿ˜œ
  13. Yes, some time ago, by a Murano artist I wanted one similar to the one I had seen at the auction, but bigger, and he made me two
  14. Yes, these explode in the sun๐Ÿ˜„
  15. Here's how it was listed; "Lot 59. CONTEMPORARY HANDMADE, Murano. Goldsand Marble. Gold and purple Lutz swirled together. Italian, circa 2000-present. 11/16. Mint (9.9)." Curious,..more or less the measurements are similar to the op
