JVVmarbles Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Made in China, around 1920, these are not German handmades! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Marbles Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 From what I have read, there is still some debate on the origin of these. Thank You for correcting me if I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 JVV, Can you sight the info. for the China attribution as I and I'm sure others would be interested. I'll admit I'd have jumped to the conclusion of it being German Confetti but handmades are not my forte. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Bumping. Hoping Sue will see if Jeroen doesn't. I've heard them called Chinese more often than German but I couldn't cite a source. I THINK it is typical of other non-marble Chinese glass - that's what I think I've HEARD - but again no specific source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 One more pic, which I like because it shows at least three pieces of pink and white striped frit. I recognize that frit from marbles I've held in my hand and presented for discussion in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTAndrea Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Alan Basinet (long may he rest in peace ) told me they're of Chinese origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 lol. It doesn't show well in this scan, but both of these marbles have the striped frit that the big confetti from the auction has. . . . . . These marbles were dug in a Shanghai dump. I know there was dispute about the origin of the more slaglike marbles which were dug with them but I don't recall argument about the frit mibs. Maybe I'm only remembering the parts I liked from the discussion. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
