    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.

    How big is it? 5/8" ?

    That doesn't look like Nadine's work.

    A very high likelihood that it is modern Bulgarian.

    Looks more like a marble whose tail flopped over on itself. That doesn't look like Akro glass.

    Either clay - or if glass - a JHM torch piece. Leaning towards the former.

    Do you believe it to be vintage?

    Possibly a remelt done by a blind person.

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

    Its a jewelry box.

    Props for finding this.

    Cullet tell the story of production. Its a chance to look at the glass and see what happening....right and wrong, and to look at the changes, imperfections and the struggle to get the production tuned as they wanted. I think it tells an important story.
