Hey friends, I have some questions about Oxblood. It seems everyone wants it, and a lot misidentify it. What is it? Is it just a colour, or is it actually Oxblood used in the colouring process? Why is is so sought after? Any info will be awesome! Thanks!

Nice looking clays. Don't think they are Benningtons. .06

Doesn't appear that light shines through this one

Are German hand made glass the same time frame as the clays? More or less prevalent?

Thank you again for your explanation. I just made an assumption, because these were with all the clays I bought, so thought they were better then Imperial

I've been so focused on my clays, I've neglected so other cool looking things. I have about 8 of these, all similar. Alleys?

Not sure again about this. Not sure if the round mark is etched in, or it's a mark from firing. There are a lot very similar to this one, in the bag I bought Glazed

Drove an hour to check some new antique places I haven't been to. Almost stuck out, and the last booth had some baggies. My heart kind of stopped. They were listed as"Clay and Glass". There is a lot for me to look at, but obviously these took center stage. They are glazed, so I'm not sure if they are consider China's or not. I will be posting some of the other stuff as I go through it, because I am beside myself. Please excuse the extreme excitement. This is so freaking cool to me.

Hmm.... I may need to drop hints to get that as a gift!

Would you clean this, and if so, how do you do it?

Oh Thank you! That's a new one for me!

I'm not quite sure this qualifies. Help!

You are a kindred soul to me. I very much appreciate you and will look for these books All the best to you!

THAT'S SO AWESOME. This immediately becomes my best personal find!!!!

Going now!!!

I accept all the hits. I don't want to throw a bunch of stuff against the wall and hope something sticks. I genuinely am learning here, and I owe it to this really awesome group of people The passion and excitement is genuine. I needed something, and I have found it!

So I bought a lot online with just a couple of pictures. Not a lot there, but this one guy stood out. I bought the lot and it arrived today. It's better then the pictures I just need help with an ID. It has a gorgeous swirl, with some "Lutz"?? I truly am really excited about this one Thanks!!!

Lol.... Why do what everyone else is doing ..lol This hobby has its hooks in me

Gorgeous German Swirls. I am also a huge fan of Benningtons. You have a very nice lot there!

Checking some other stuff, this guy glowed brightly with Uranium. It is .56 What is this one?

I have to remember the sizing!!!! These are all .60

Thank you! I was going to put a few aside to clean later. I may pick up a cheap ultrasonic cleaner. Thanks again.....I am really enjoying this hobby

In my head, it is. Pole to pole, one swirl. Thanks

So, I've decided to try a different approach. Im going to try to learn one make, and then go through what I have and try to see if I can identify the types in looking for, instead of looking at every marble and getting overwhelmed. I appreciate all the help here. Are these Alleys?
