ann Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 The -- ah -- thing itself isn't that interesting. The original English "Spotted Dick" is a kind of bready pudding with raisins . . . you can actually buy it here (which I've done for a joke) in cans, Heinz brand, if you have a good grocery store. What I want to know is - - - How the name "Spotted Dick" came about (or maybe I don't want to know), and/or how it caught on, and What the heck a "Spotted Dick" marble looks like (or maybe I don't want to know). Maybe just a tiny picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psia-antique Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Anyone have a Spotted Dick? Got pix? Do you want to see one or have you seen some before? Please describe them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m!b$ Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 This is what I could find. Link "Pearlies" are pearl like, often white with a colour running throughthem. A black pearly with a narrow vertical strip of colour is a cat'seye. A green pearly is a froggy. A pearly with many dots of colour is aSpotted Dick. "Oilies" have an iridescent quality similar to the shadesproduced by oil on water. "Clearies" are clear, transparent marbles andred, blue and green clearies are all possibilities. Link Spotted dicks. Very rare, blue glass with coloured dots on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 That's cool, m!b$. That's two more uses of the name than I already knew about. Or thought I knew about. The spotted dick I've been curious about is a ceramic, I believe. White with black spots, I think. My list of links to handmades threads tells me to go to a thread at Marble Mental. But I can't get there. Edit: What Duffy said. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfisher Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Here is a photo of my "Spotted Dick" It did come from England with a bunch of hand made I bought... It was actually so dirty, I thought it was Bennington... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I found one years ago in Mississippi. I gave it to Gary. Gary, my son told me that in England there is a sausage with black spots - thus the spotted dick. BUT the marble doesn't look like the sausage.
