It is a nice looking marble. Definite keeper from a collectors standpoint IMO, regardless of value 😊

First group, second row, second to the last one....

It is very similar to a Swirl I saw Joe's Marbles today....

Happy Akro Friday HTF amythest flowerpot/thumbpot...looks "black" until backlit. My understanding was that some had the artwork and some didn't, leaving me to assume that this version is more desirable.

I believe so 😊

The first pic almost had me blurting out C- never mind....

It's Green....that's all I'm saying....

There's a few more that are deserving of their own posts IMO within this pile also....

We wouldn't want Kermit the Frog too hear the word "Cac" either...

A somewhat worn but nice Japanese transitional I found a few months back.

I know we as collectors here at MarbleConnection have shared various posts pertaining too our Asian counterparts regarding marble manufacturing, history of, etc.... I thought it would be fun to start up a category focusing exclusively on Japanese and Chinese influence in the marble world. I am aware that some collectors like them, and some don't. But one cannot deny the beauty in some of the marbles that have been found or are still being discovered out there. Share your pics and any info that you might want to include along with them.

Glass or Plastic? Any way to acquire information from the seller pertaining to what it could be, or what the seller described it as when for sale? Would be interesting information 😊

I'd go for some yummy pea salad with hunks of cheese like that any day. That's definitely what I miss with family reunions.

More often than not a common find in the wild, has been for me anyway. I'm guessing these are on the somewhat smaller side? ×2 Asian (Japanese) pinchers....

×2 on Art's opinions....nice cat...

Yep, ×2 on a cork....×2 on snakes with a clear base glass too 👍

So close....she ducked her head as soon as I clicked

Seeing eyelashes in the 2nd pic?

I might say Vitro on both mibs at the top after looking again...

Top left corner is Vitro, thinking the rest are MK....

Time to chow on some Orville's extra buttery popcorn as we wait for opinions

All 3 appear to be Pelts, but I keep second guessing myself, especially on the 2nd mib...

Every marble is tough for a brand new collector. I've only been doing it for about a year and a half. There's others here that have been at it for 20 or 30 years. You'll definitely get better but like everyone else, you will almost certainly stumble on identification more often than not. This hobby is always a learning experience. Every day. But it's a blast. Wish I would have started years ago! Keep at it my friend! It gets better every day 😊👍
