Yes--Ravenswood marbles are commonly associated with Brown and White or a variation—cream color. The size makes a difference in these ID’s. Ravenswood made more 9/16” marbles than anyone else. Plenty of makers made colors similar to these. The streams of the glass and cutoffs also apply. Cheese nailed this one! Marble—On!!

The deep blue and the deep white set this one off. Nice find! Marble--On!!

The Original Post is a Jabo. Nice find--nice post! These can be a hard ID with images sometimes. Marble--On!!

X2--but a very nice one. Akro will show "Flames" but not in this case. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more--------- Marble--On!!

The odd ball thing is right--great marble---great find---enough said. MK is the final answer for sure. Marble--On!!

Hello Penny and welcome to "TheMarbleConnection". Your field of expertise is a niche collectable as most collectable marbles are. To find one that is an expert in clays marbles is rare and unexpected. There are many “contemporary” glass marble makers—Way too many imho. To find one that does clay is a revelation. Everyone has their favorites and the clay field has not been a big collectable market in the last few years imho, not enough made and not enough to find. Let’s not confuse these “Clays” with the Polymer marbles that we are all familiar with. Clay marbles are a far more involved process that involves far more work and artistic knowledge, let alone the equipment involved. I have a few “contemporary” clays that include some from Nadine and I purchased these only in her memory. (Bless her Soul “The laborer's appetite works for him/her”) I wish that I knew you by name but I do not. I was never a big one to attend shows. The collection that you show is a great example of a contemporary field that few are involved with in today’s market. It should be involved imho because of the amount of time and labor (love, passion) involved for the marbles that are produced. Feel free to add any addresses that these marbles may be purchased from because I am sure that many will want to get some into the collections that they now own. Marble—On!!

OK, enough said--😁. I just click on "activity" and I do not miss much--if anything. I suppose that a "following" is an honor to be considered. I never followed anyone here, I just check everyone out because everyone has something to add. Marble--On ALL!!

Nice Girl Scout for sure Melissa! The "Blizzard" is a new one for me, thanks for sharing it. Marble--On!!

Here is the thing; these finials are easily interchanged---marble wise. Never sell them as original—who knows? If you are looking to sell these, include these facts. I have a pair that I purchased years ago but I sure will not say that the marbles are original. You can put any marble in these things if the size is right. Mine pair are both 1” Akro Agate corkscrews and I paid what the corks were worth. Heck, a Vacor may find the way into these just for kicks or a nice one good sided marble of any vintage for that matter in the right size. The only one that I have that looks “original” to me is a nice deep ocean blue ”Clearie”. It is on the neck of an old “Bridge lamp” (I put it there). My finials are of the same design as yours on the upper left image, the longer necked one. This is my thinking because of the different styles of the finials—these are not original. My opinion is that these are a later model swirl in both finials. Jabo imho. I posted images below, one is a "hanger" or pull type. Marble—On!!

I chuckle to myself everytime I see the Dutch word for marbles. Keep it going my overseas marble collecting friend--great stuff! Marble--On for sure!!

$20 for two Superman--plus--killer find--! Now figure out if there are any B/W corkscrews--or W/B corkcrews--alway a chore for sure---but fun none-the-less. Nice shoes too. Marble--On!!

Try some UV light on this one---- Marble--On!!

Hold on folks! I think that the initial ID was a good one--it fooled me for a minute. This is why we ask for multiple images--good job all !! Marble--On!!

This one is an Asian Import "Cateye type" imho. I may have come in a set of "Imperials". Marble--On!!

I am cool and will stay tuned--cool marble!! Marble--On!!

Al is right on--more images please. Marble--On!!

I agree with Al. C may be a Master Made Marble. Marble--On!!

That is as cool as ever William. Nice stuff--great finds!

I agree--handgathered Fire. The pontil in the last two images is worth a look by @YasudaCollector imho. I apreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Nice to see you James. From the nose down you could be me--especially the fingers-lol. It is hard for me to remember the last time I did not have a scab or cut someplace on my body. Marble—On!!

The first image, the blue one second up from the bottom--is more than likely a hand-gathered slag--pretty old imho. More images are needed here. The second image has too many reflections involved to make any call or ID—they do remind me of Vacor “Wicked Owls”. Marble—On!!

I do not blame the seller--this is a hard ID. Lets just all agree with a MK ID. The colors are right, the pattern is right---just an old one--very cool. I would lean a bit towards Akro if the colors were right. Marble--On!!

Nice drop-in marboman--who does not like a good Vitro? Nice image! Nice marbles--for sure! Marble--On!!

Nice marble--for sure!! Nice find and a nice ID as well. Marble--On!!

The size is right on for a Ravenswood. Ravenswood made more 9/16" marbles than anyone, any where. Lets call in @Ric for a final evaulation on this one. Ric knows his Ravenswood for sure. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
