    There is nothing about it that would allow anyone to pin it to a maker. Somewhat unlikely that it is an artist, per se. More likely someone goofing around experimenting.

    It is a contemporary (new) - made on a small gas torch.
  3. Alan
    Photo of it?
  4. Alan
    Agree.

    Ken was a nice guy and a very gifted artist. He had the courage to follow his passion and make his art style his own. I have always admired his skill and art - which was a departure from the style used by most of his peers. He and his artistry will be missed.

    The nice thing about contemps is that we have a wealth of artists to choose from - and their work evolves over time. Some of that work speaks to you and you can assemble examples that match your specific interests.

    Obviously Moretti glass. Some of the supposed handmades from that seller are even signed.

    Reasonable. Maybe a bit of a decent buy. All had some fair chip(s). The 3rd was shrunken core.

    This makes me miss the great work that Bill Murray did with contemporary micas.

    Its from a few sources: http://simplyperform.com/2015/03/26/building-relationships-with-marbles/ Its all over Pinterest, Alibaba and stock photo sites like a rash.

    Does the shipping postage meter show a package weight?

    I have an Akro pee wee brick - I found it in the dirt on the hill behind the plant's back wall. Its a tad out-of-round and has some surface chill marks which tells me that it was just a small bit of glass that fell on the rollers at start-up. I don't recall seeing any production brick pee-wees - although there are some that been polished-down to that size.

    Is there a question in there somewhere?

    Nice whip. "Whip it good!"

    It looks like a retail sample. I don't see a reason to assume it was a salesman's case - its far too small. The marbles in it seem kind of random for a sample box.

    How big is it? 5/8" ?
  19. Alan
    That doesn't look like Nadine's work.

    A very high likelihood that it is modern Bulgarian.
  21. Alan
    Looks more like a marble whose tail flopped over on itself. That doesn't look like Akro glass.
  22. Alan
    Either clay - or if glass - a JHM torch piece. Leaning towards the former.
  23. Alan
    Do you believe it to be vintage?
  24. Alan
    Possibly a remelt done by a blind person.

    Someone threw copper scrap or a penny into the pot to watch it flare up.
