ziggyzora Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 The last time I commented here on a marble listed by this seller it was suggested he should be given some slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I'd (personally) probably refer to it more as a "sphere" - but marbles are made from a number of materials other than glass. I think its an interesting piece - given the care that went into shapng it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Racer Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I'd call it a ball. A ball of coral. Short of covetable just a tad, since it doesn't make me want to run out and get one. A curiosity at best. Billiard balls were once carved from ivory, since plastic wasn't invented yet. Does that make them marbles today? I wonder if it might have been a carpet ball?
