@RosalieR, thanks for yesterday's post, you may have helped me solve one mystery marble
-
Yay - I was going to suggest Master 😄
-
Gorgeous colours!
-
Shine a light through it - is it transparent?
-
Thanks for input, I won't argue with that. It's been useful anyway, as it directed me towards finding out about the thrilling marble scandals of the early 20th century!
-
11/16 M.F., or is that just wishful thinking? Another transitional?
-
Haha, thankfully my autocorrect has it saved
-
DAS are known to have that sort of swirl. Not sure if 5/8 were produced though...
-
I'd say that structure looks like veiligglas to me...
-
Im working on it, unfortunately my brain is a seive... In the meantime, as I try to gather the different traits, at least I can just enjoy looking at them.
-
I've got quite a few green wvs, I always think I'm going to figure them out but the subtleties in the different shades makes it tough!
-
@The Nickel Guy, sorry for my misdirection, just trying to shake things up a bit 😅 -
Aha- Just checked and think you are correct about the 3 on the right,cheers!
-
Thanks for the input, I'll look up Bluejays. The groups are separate, those on the right came with a load of other Japanese transitionals, the 3 on the left are from a mixed vintage lot, but there were a few vacors in it.
-
I believe these may be relatives... All bubbly to varying degrees and I think demonstrate other matching traits.
-
@The Nickel Guy, can you remember what else it came with?
-
I'm calling Seike. @shiroaiko what do you think?
-
Brilliant, thanks for encouraging me to give it another go. After a bit of experimentation I settled on black background, in a glass of water. Feel like I've graduated in some way now that I've been fishing round with a wet hand, trying to get the best part of a swirl upright 😀
-
I'll take that as my answer,thanks. Glad I finally know what they look like.
-
Thanks. It came with this one which I had pegged as Alley, so that makes more sense.
-
Range from about 13.8-15.8mm Do opaque whisplers even exist?
-
5/8 Struggling to capture the depth and variety of colour on this swirl, had to use flash to get as close as I could. Tan, then thin red line, then grayish purple and brown, all seem opaque.
-
I need to thank the Forum again! Please read!

Wishing you all the best for your recovery. Finding this hobby and forum also came to me at a very difficult time in my life, just when I needed it. The respect between users, passion displayed and the neverending beauty and mystery of these marbles means it is such a nice place to spend time. -
Duck Marbles from the Seike family
LevvyPoole replied to shiroaiko's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
@shiroaiko, that is very good advice. Most of my lots have come from Ebay sellers, and I suppose it never occurred to me to ask history as I didn't want to 'bother' anyone unnecessarily, especially those trying to make a living. Some people may even appreciate the interest. -
Wow! Absolutely beautiful 😍
