Nice one too. Anytime they are 2 colors without white being one if them they have a little more collectable value. Unless it is a Whispy white those are the Popeyes.

I know marble king does usually have the veins come to the end of the marble. But has like a vitro vibe to it.

Hi Aidan, the marble was a good buy! I'm happy for you.😃 Japanese marble collectors would immediately rush to the marble if it is at only 10 dollars. Normally they cost 5 times more...
The marble in question is a lampworked marble which was probably made in Osaka. The glass is almost seedless and the color is good. The lampworker used glass rods which were supplied by a glass maker specializing in making rods and cullet for other fields of glass industry. The time period is late Meiji, Taisho or early Showa. Childhood labor was common at that time. They were made before the coming of transitionals and machine mades. To name the makers who made lamp-worked marbles for export at that time, they were Tokujiro Oi (Osaka), Wakamatsu Yoneda (Osaka) and Hanshichi Kamei (Kyoto). Domination of Japanese marbles in Asian countries continued until 1954 when Hong Kong started marble production.
I myself felt that this marble has a much higher value but i didn't want to conduct any unfair business. I try my hardest to maintain accuracy and honesty with all of my marble sales on ebay and off of ebay. You have a lot of information on these and that's very impressive and interesting to read.
