    Cane-cut handmades were made by a simple and universal technique. I'm not aware of a type or style that could in any way be attributed to a specific manufacturer. Even if one manufacturer came up with a new design (which I'm sure they did) - it could be easily and quickly copied by others because the construction technique was always going to be fairly simple.

    Marbles are generally not "certified". At least not in the way that vintage coins have been. There are (at least) two people who have done formal appraisals of a large collection for an insurance claim, followed by a lawsuit that went to court. It can be done. Its a lot of work and documentation.

    Akro was certainly making oxblood dishware until the end of their operations. The dishware pile slightly uphill from the gate and on the right was clearly the last dump pile they contributed to. It seemed to be mostly children's dish set pieces.

    I don't use the term myself because I don't think its helpful. I think you'll find the common usage is a solid core with high transparency, like:

    Generally +20% in smaller sizes. As you approach/pass 1" dia. the percentage can increase. This assumes that they are mint.
