I'llhavethat1 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Cool, would love to see other angles and the translucent part(s). Quite a size !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 A 'single gathered pontil' or is there something going on at the opposite pole as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Looking forward to them. Something about this type in this size has always been a bit puzzling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hm... Still puzzled Nice marble though. Banded translucent with a looping pattern? Can't tell from the pics what the pontil looks like, is it faceted? I'll go out on a limb here, others might disagree with me and that's fine, but I can't help but wonder if these were made somewhere other than the average marble huts in Germany. Reason I say that is the style/size/colors don't really match up with other marbles from that era. If it was the 'first off cane' that could explain the style/size (being large and the looping pattern) but you'd expect to see at least a hint of the other traits in a more conventional German cane cut marble. I'd lean more towards an 'art glass' type of marble but that's just my opinion. It certainly doesn't take away from the eye appeal. I think Lloyd (?) might have had a couple that came with some older larger Germans so who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydetul62 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I have heard pattern as butterfly. Looks like banded translucent. Has a Chinese feel to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
