Probably an architectural accent or from a piece of furniture.

Opinion: Its torched Moretti glass. Contemporary.

Keep in mind that cane-cut contemporaries (as this one is) are made by the same process as vintage pieces. So the ridges are caused by the same processes. Those can be a twist imparted to the cane before or during the cut - or by the rounding process. Here is Geoff Beetem making a cane cut piece - which may illustrate the basic process and help you visualize how the ridge can be created. Remember: most cane-cut designs are intentionally twisted to cause the ribbons, latticino to spiral (Geoff makes PERFECT pieces )

Its a contemporary.

Here is some more Akro blue:

As a friend says: "Statistically - you have a far better chance of robbing 5 banks the same day and getting away with it."

Cheryl: Thank you for your kind updates - and especially for the kindness that you are able to give Alan is his great time of need. May the blessings that he receives from you and others come back to each of you tenfold. Alan Z

I agree.

As I understand it - this has happened before.

Ever notice how garbage marbles are identified as "Onionskin Lutzes" - but never the other way around? I wonder why that is?

Anemic MK.

They were $50 NIB when they first came out.

Re: eggs.....Did you shoot this through a window?

"chip noted in Photo #4 as well as some scattered fleabites" I think the seller is describing a different marble - because that description sure doesn't fit the pictured piece.

It seems proof that you can put almost anything on the Bay - and some people will eagerly bid on it.

Link?

How can it be "mint condition 9.5 9.6" and have pinpricks on the surface?

I look forward to seeing what he was kind enough to contribute.

I'm not seeing Ravenswood in it.

It IS cool - and thanks for posting it.
