  1. Here's a couple of really messy horseshoe cat's eyes I picked up in Port Townsend yesterday. 🙂
  2. Here's a couple of messy ones I found yesterday in Port Townsend WA (just a ferry ride away from Anacortes). I'm glad I found them since a local artist was planning to use them in a scrap glass mosaic. 😬
  3. Ultimate Japanese transitional score from the Seattle marble show!!!
  4. Awesome! Me, Alec and Dad just showed up at the hotel!
  5. I agree! Original boxes are always a very nice find! This box seems to fit the same era for Japanese cat's eyes too.
  6. Yeah, that's something else I was wondering, I couldn't find the hours.
  7. Like I keep saying, this information is absolutely amazing! 😃 I agree with @LevvyPoole, it is really interesting to learn about how Japanese marbles started circulating in China and Hong Kong. It seems like a lot of them have been found there.
  8. Hey, just thought I'd post this in advance for the Seattle show this Saturday, but if any collectors/dealers attending have some extra Japanese transitionals they are willing to sell, I am in the market for them (as always). 🙂
  9. Man! That's pretty impressive that the glass products were viewed by the emperor himself! Not that any marbles don't have history, but Japanese transitionals seem to have some particularly impressive history. 🙂
  10. Thank you so much for the awesome information Shiroaiko! 😎 It's really amazes me to think that the marble was made such a long time ago. It has definitely seen it's fair share of history! I wonder how it could have made its way over here to the U.S.
  11. Ooh! I wonder what kind of WVS this might be. I don't think I've seen another one quite like this guy.
  12. I happened upon this guy yesterday at a local antique shop. It just kinda stood out in the tub I was searching through. I wonder if it's some kind of Vacor or maybe a West Virginia Swirl. 🤔
  13. Awesome!!! Thanks for the info! 🙂
  14. Just thought I'd ask, but I heard a while back that there is a show in Seattle some time in March. If so what weekend is it and where is the venue? This is my first chance to go to a marble show (so I'm pretty excited!) 🙂
  15. Pretty much all of mine are Chinese from about 1930 to 1990. Even though most of the Chinese ones aren't worth as much as the Murano examples, I like the really bright, vivid colors that they come in. Plus, you can build a pretty diverse/large collection fairly easily.
  16. I couldn't agree more! I absolutely love these guys and have amassed quite a few!
  17. So, were the last hand faceted agates made in the early to mid 1930s? If so, did Germany continue to make machine ground agates later?
